Exam 1 Review - 70 Questions | 4 Med Calc | 1 Hour Prior when we can Download Question SATA - That every answer is CORRECT (ALL ANSWERS) | SATA (One of them is ALL BUT ONE) 1. Going to be on preeclampsia (Need to know) Body systems AFFECTED by preeclampsia - - When gestational hypertension progresses into preeclampsia, high blood pressure temporarily impairs the kidneys; ability to filter albumin, causing the protein to appear in the urine. - Kidney impairment leads to generalized edema Other systems AFFECTED - - Intravascular volume is reduced as fluid moves out of the vessels (Hemoconcentration - Increased blood viscosity and tissue edema. - Decreased liver perfusion - Impaired liver function and elevated liver enzymes - Hepatic edema causes epigastric or right upper quadrant abdominal pain. - Cerebral edema -Increased CNS irritability, causing headaches, hyperreflexia, Ankle clonus, and seizures. - Decreased blood flow to the retina causes visual disturbances and blurred vision. Characteristics of MILD preeclampsia - - Blood pressure: increases in pregnancy; ≥ 140/90 mm Hg - Edema: face, hands, ankles, periorbital edema (MORE ominous finding) - Weight: 2nd trimester increase; 3 pounds or more per month; 3rd trimester increase 1 pound per week - Urine: 1+ to 2+ protein; output is at least 500 mL/24 h Characteristics of SEVERE preeclampsia - Blood pressure :≥ 160/110 mm Hg x 2 (6 hours apart), even when on bed rest - Edema: MORE obvious - Weight: increases dramatically; 1-2 pounds gained in 3-7 days - Urine: 3+ to 4+ protein; output &lt; 500 mL/24 h - Headache, Blurred vision, and Epigastric discomfort - Hyperreflexia and Clonus (Indicates a seizure is likely to occur Preeclampsia - Develops AFTER 20 weeks - BP elevated on 2 occasions at least 6 hours apart - Associated with Proteinuria and Edema Risk factors of preeclampsia - Nulliparity - Multifetal gestations - Maternal age over 35 - Preeclampsia in a previous pregnancy Chronic hypertension - Pregestational diabetes - Vascular and connective tissue disorders - Nephropathy - Antiphospholipid syndrome - Obesity - African-American race Fetal effects of preeclampsia - Placental abruption - Fetal growth restriction - Oligohydramnios - Fetal distress - Increased perinatal morbidity and mortality Labs and Fetal assessments of preeclampsia - Urine dipstick for protein - 24-hour urine - Discard the first void - Over ice or in the fridge - CBC - Comprehensive metabolic profile - Liver enzymes - Uric acid - Fetal Kick Counts - NST - BPP - Amniocentesis for fetal lung maturity - Steroids if PREMATURE delivery anticipated - Betamethasone was given to mom one time; at 24-34 weeks, lungs mature by 36 Preeclampsia indications for delivery - Worsening BP - A nonreassuring fetal condition - Development of severe PIH - Fetal lung maturity ** Ultimate: Cure is DELIVERY 2.

Hyperemesis Gravidarum Patient Teaching (What to do)- Crackers in the morning, Smaller portions (Bland), NON-Greasy foods, Hydrate (Increase Fluid Intake), Medications if needed -> - Ondansetron - PPIs (Omeprazole) - Antacids (Calcium carbonate) - H2 blockers (Famotidine) - Pyridoxine (Vit B6) - Doxylamine - Metoclopramide 5. Amniocentesis; Do we do an Ultrasound? YES; Why? To GUIDE the NEEDLE Amniocentesis - A needle guided by ultrasound is passed through the abdominal wall into a small pocket of Amniotic fluid, which is removed for testing - Performed BEGINNING from 15-20 or 16-18 weeks gestation and can be USED throughout pregnancy - Evaluate chromosomal and Metabolic abnormalities and Fetal Lung Maturity - 1% RISK of PREGNANCY LOSS -> Report vaginal bleeding, leaking amniotic fluid, abdominal pain, or fever -> Monitor mom and baby for 1 hour, discharged in 2-4 hours if both mom and baby are stable - Rest and Reduce activity for 24-48 hrs 6. BPP - NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT STANDS FOR → Biophysical Profile - FHR: End of the SECOND trimester - Fetal Breathing Movements: 10 weeks - Fetal Muscle Tone: 7-8 weeks of gestation - Amniotic Fluid Volume: 10 weeks - Gross fetal movements: 9 weeks FHR reactivity interpreted from an NST - Other 4 parameters measured by real-time ultrasonography - Each parameter is 0 or 2 point - 10 = PERFECT, 0 = WORST Score - 8-10 Considered NORMAL unless oligohydramnios (Decreased Amniotic Fluid) is present 7. Food HIGH in Calcium - Collard Greens 8. Iron deficiency Anemia Foods: (Double up on iron from vitamins) - Meats - Dark green leafy vegetables - Enriched bread and cereal - Dried fruits - Tofu - Legumes - Nuts - Blackstrap Molasses 9.

Remember looking for Domestic Violence, Some of the CUES (Patient came in, asking questions, what would concern you) - Partner answers the questions instead of the patient (Speaking for the patient) Abused pregnant women percentage - Nearly 20% - Abuse gets WORSE DURING pregnancy - Pregnant Adolescents and UNINTENDED pregnancies at an INCREASED risk 13. Gestational Diabetes What are some of the things we MIGHT SEE during the check- up (Came in for her visit, except to see) - - Increase fundal Height - Glucose in Urine, NEVER Protein in her urine Give Glyburide if she HAS Gestational DM (Oral Hypoglycemic) 14. Talked about the Glucose Test and Challenge Test - Know what is involved One-Hour Glucose Challenge Test (Test Three-Hour Glucose Tolerance Test (Test glucose Level After 1 HOUR) the FASTING BG Level) - Between 24-28 weeks - Between 24-28 weeks - SIMPLE - COMPLEX - NO NEED to FAST - NEED TO FAST - Typically for initial screening - Drink 100G of a glucose solution - Drink 50G of a glucose solution - Test the blood glucose levels 1,2,3 hours - If HIGHER than 140, the client proceeds later to an ORAL glucose tolerance test - Gestational DM is diagnosed if 2 or MORE of the values meet or exceed the following → Fasting Glucose: 95 mg/dL → 1 hour: 180 mg/dL → 2 hours: 155 mg/dL → 3 hours: 140 mg/dL 15.
