WHAT ARE BABIES MADE OF? - mom and dad, sperm and egg - DNA, cells, - It matters because we are made out of DNA. We are gonna take care of a woman in her pregnancy. She is gonna grow a person made out of DNA. We need to know the things that deal with mom (all her medical hx) - Half of DNA from mom, half from dad. - Ask questions from dad as well. GENES  DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a biomolecule that holds the blueprint for how living organisms are built.  A gene is a s...

• Elements of EFM (electronic fetal monitoring) o Baseline: Mean fetal heart rate (FHR) rounded to nearest 5 bpm during a 10 minute period excluding accelerations and decelerations. o Variability and causes for increased or decreased variability: Fluctuations in the baseline FHR that are irregular in amplitude and frequency. Measured from peak to trough (rise and fall) of the HR and given a range within a 1 min period. Classified as absent, mild, or moderate. Most important predictor of adeq...

• Overview of the transition the woman goes through into her new maternal role o Rubin’s Maternal Tasks of Pregnancy • Ensuring a safe passage for herself and her child • Ensuring a social acceptance of the child by significant others • Attaching or “binding-in” to the child • According to Rubin, the mother-to-be needs to accept the pregnancy and incorporate it into her own reality and self-concept This process is known as binding in. • Giving of oneself to the demands ...

.) PRIORITY nursing care/interventions/assessment immediately after birth of normal newborn  Check Vitals  Most important is to establish respiratory function with the cutting of the umbilical cord. (clear airway using the bulb syringe first mouth then nose)  Dry baby up  Perform a physical assessment called Apgar scoring to rule out any abnormalities. It is a measure of the physical condition of a newborn infant. It is obtained by adding points (2, 1, or 0) for heart rate, r...

• Adaptation to Extrauterine Life o Cardiovascular: NB must initiate respirations & sustain extrauterine oxygenation  When born, infant forced to take in oxygen thru lungs.  Shunts close & vessels clot off & regress o Respiratory: First breath also in response to temperature & pressure changes, light & noise.  1st breath requires great pressure; 40-70 cm H2O. Small amt of fluid present in lungs.  1/3 rd of this fluid forced out by pressure of vaginal birth; rest absorb...

1. Document your initial assessment data of Ms. Patton, including uterine activity (frequency and duration), fetal heart rate (FHR) activity (baseline FHR, long-term variability, accelerations, and decelerations), vaginal discharge, and maternal vital signs. • Palpated uterus for contractions. Uterus tone soft between contractions. Contractions approximately 4 minutes apart & lasting 50 seconds • FHR 149 @ baseline with occasional acceleration & one episode of early deceleration • No ...

Opening Questions How did the simulated experience of Amelia Sung’s case make you feel? • Honestly this VSim made me very excited to experience this in real life. I want to be a Labor & Delivery nurse, so this made me more aware of how I should be reacting during a normal birth and what I need to be able to do in case of an emergency. Describe the actions you felt went well in this scenario. • During my first attempt, I wasn’t even thinking about medications, so during my second ...
