Study Notes
General Physical Examination
- General physical examination is essential for pregnant women
- Tests include:
- Hb (hemoglobin)
- Blood group
- Rh (Rhesus) factor
Special Assessment Chart
- Create a special assessment chart for pregnant women
Advices and Instructions
- Relaxation: free from pain, worry, and physical and mental health
- Nutrition: contain whole elements for fetus growth and development, provide good mother health, and strength for labor
- Cleaning: daily bath with soap and warm water, care of genital area and urethral orifice
- Special care with skin, especially in chest and abdominal area
- Physical exercise: stimulate circulation and strength of abdominal muscles and pelvis
- Breast care: massage for nipple and areolae
- Vaccines: antitoxin (antitetanus) at the end of 4th and 5th months, RH isoimmunization for RH- mothers
RH Isoimmunization
- Causes of RH isoimmunization:
- Silent transfusion of fetal RBC to maternal circulation (35%)
- Abortion
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Antipartum hemorrhage
- Postpartum hemorrhage
- Prevention:
- Administration of RH abs (anti-D) within 72 hours of delivery
- Give 0+ gastric acid-resistant capsule
- Bone marrow transplantation
- Plasmapheresis
- Decrease the risk of blood transfer between baby and mother during delivery
