Maternity Nursing
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Factors influencing process of labor and birth (5 P's) | Passenger, Passageway, Powers, Position of Mom, Psychological Aspects |
| P I | Passenger = Fetus, Factors include: head, lie & attitude, presentation, position |
| Fetal Lie | Relationship of fetal spine to maternal spine |
| Fetal Presentation | Fetal part that is down and out first |
| Fetal Attitude | Position of fetal body parts to each other, the way the fetus is curled up; relationship of fetal parts to one another; head flexed or extended |
| Fetal Landmarks | Fontanels & SuturesPosterior (triangular), anterior (diamond), 6 bones |
| Molding | Head shapes to fit through available space in maternal pelvis |
| Cephalic Presentation (Vertex) | Crown first, chin well flexed on chest |
| Cephalic Presentation (Face or Brow) | Chin is extended, diameter larger |
| Breech Presentation | Feet and/or buttocks first |
| Shoulder Presentation | Transverse lie |
| Station | Measure of the degree of descent of the fetus through the birth canal |
| O Station | Fetus is engaged, even with ischial spines |
| Minus # Stations | Baby is higher up within the pelvis |
| Positive # Stations | Baby is down toward the perineum |
| P II | Passageway, Information about the passageway include: smallest diameter at ischial spines, fetus must pass beneath pubic arch, hormones soften cartilage and ligaments |
| Introitus | External opening to vagina: tears, abrasions, hematomas, estrogen resp flex |
| P III | Powers: Primary-involuntary uterine contractions & Secondary-voluntary abdominal muscles and diaphragm (bearing down) |
| Duration of contraction | The amount of time the contraction lasts |
| Frequency of contraction | From start of one to the start of the next |
| Intensity of contraction | The strength of the contracation, how tight |
| P IV | Position of mom - Tactics include squatting (gravity helps fetal descent), all fours (relieves backache), lateral (may help rotation of fetal head, turn mom to relieve pressure on cord, NO LYING FLAT |
| P V | Psychosocial Considerations - Includes: perceptions/expectations (anxiety, fatigue, pain intolerance, cultural knowledge, educational preparation (prenatal classes), support (coach, doula) |
| Premonitory Signs of Labor | Lightening, low back pain, Braxton-Hicks energy surg (nesting), weight loss, GI upset, vaginal discharge, bloody show, cervical changes, rupture of membranes |
| Lightening | The uterus drops, promotes easier breathing and causes frequent urination |
| Onset of Labor | Oxytocin-known to stimulate uterine contractions |
| Effacement | Thinning of the cervix, expressed as 0%-100%Primiparas efface then dilateMultiparas efface as they dilate |
| Dilation | Opening of the cervix, expressed as 0cm-10cm |
| Stage 1 of Labor | Includes 3 phases. Effacement and dilation of cervix. Usually longest stage: 8-15 hours |
| Stage 2 of Labor | Birth, pushing baby to +5 station. Lasts minutes or 2-3 hours |
| Stage 3 of Labor | Delivery of placenta. Lasts 2 min to 1 hours |
| Stage 4 of Labor | Recovery, Last about 2 hours |
| Labor Status Assessment | Contraction history, cervical changes, membranes, and bloody show |
| Fetal Status Assessment | Fetal position, heart rate, gestational date |
| Stage 1 of Labor, Phase 1 | Latent: 0-3cm dilated, Contractions 5-30 min apart, mild to moderate, lasting 30-45 sec, 0 to -2 station. Mom alert, excited, walking, fluid intake |
| Stage 1 of Labor, Phase 2 | Active: 4-7cm dilated, Contraction 3-5 min apart, mod to strong, lasting 40-70 sec, +1 to +2 station, Epidural may occur here. Mom working hard, may fatigue, serious, focuses, internalizes |
| Stage 1 of Labor, Phase 3 | Transtion: 8-10 cm dilated, Contractions 2-3 min apart, strong to very strong, lasting 60-90 sec, +2 to +3 station. Mom irritable, tired, trouble following directions, hurting if no epidural, may fall asleep btwn contrax, awakes in pain, shakes and vomit |
| Rupture of Membranes | May occur spontaneously or done artificially (amniotomy). May be done if: fetus is engaged, to prevent prolapse of cord, used to stimulate labor. Asses fetal heart rate and observe color, and consistency of fluid. |
| Ferguson Reflex | The urge to push when the baby's head presses on receptors. Urge may be absent with epidural anesthesia. |
| Cardinal Movements (Baby mechanism of labor) | Engagement (o station), Descent (downward), Flexion (chin tucked on chest), Internal rotation (head rotates after entering inlet sideways to exit outlets as it hits pelvic floor), Extension (baby stretches neck), External rotation (restitution), Explusion |
| Care of the Newborn | Airway-suction mouth & nose, Warmth-dry and wrap, cover head, APGAR (0-10): heart rate, resp, tone, reflex, color @ 1 & 5 Min, ID |
| Placenta Delivry | Separates from uterus, contractions cause the site to shrink, gush of blood, check for intact placenta, no retained pieces, leads to hemorrhage. |
| External monitor | Non-invasive, ultrasound transducer, usually on fetal back, toco-transducer, over fundus, measures duration, frequency, NOT intensity |
| Internal monitor | Requires: ROM, 2cm dilated, 0 station. Spiral electrode (invasive) directly to babies scalp, IUPC - reads intrauterine pressure, duration, and frequency, passes beside fetus |
| Fetal Heart Rate | Baseline: avg rate in 10 min (110-160bpm) |
| Maternal Responses to labor | BP rises during contractions, drops if aorta vena cava are compressed by uterine weight, O2 consumption up, possible resp. alkalosis, bladder (blocks babies descent if full), may have protein in urine (overworked muscles), Digestion slows, Pass stool |
| Visceral Pain | Cervical changes and uterine ischemia, secondary to contractions, lower abdomen, back and thighs |
| Somatic Pain | Perineal stretching, pressure on other structures |
| Referred Pain | Felt in back, flanks, thighs |
| After Pain | Contracting down of uterus |
| Factors influencing pain | Knowledge, culture & traditions, fear & anxiety, past experiences, personal coping, significance of pain, fatigue |
| Pain Relief Measures | Relaxation,, effleurage, counterpressure, massage, touch, music, water, aromatherapy, biofeedback, heat/cold |
| Narcotics and (Narcotic Antagonist) | Demerol, Fentanly(Narcan) |
| Mixed narcotic agonist-antagonist | Stadol, Nubain |
| Potentiators | Phenergan, Largon, Vistaril |
| Blocks | "Caines" (i.e. Novacaine), Fentanyl, Morphine |
| Systemic Drug Effects for Baby | Timing (<1 hr or >4 hr before IM deliver). Too early-slows labor, Too late-may depress neonatal resp and may need narcan. Fetal liver may register 2-3 hr after admin. |
| Epidural Info | Not given until active phase, IV fluids must be maintained, BP must be monitored, Empty bladder |
| Precipitous Labor | Less than 3 hours from onset of contractions to birth. Maternal complications: ruptured uterus, placental hemorrhage, lacerations, amniotic fluid embolism. Fetal complications: hypoxia, intracranial hemorrhage |
| Augmentation/Induction | Used for several concerns: PROM, PID, inadequate labor progression, postterm dates |
| Oxytocin Administration Concerns | Must watch for danger, FHT, lack of uterine relaxation, poor perfusion, decreases or stop infusion, give Os, turn to side |
| BUBBLE H2 | Breast, Uterus, Bladder, Bowels, Lochia, Episiotomy, Hemorrhoids, Homan's Sign |
| Lochia | After birth up to 6 weeks later, no menstruation |
| Rubra | 1-3 days after birthRed |
| Serous | 3-10 days after birthPink, Brown |
| Alba | 10-20 days after birthWhite, Creamy |
| Postpartum Assessments | 1st hour, every 15 minutes (fundus check).2nd & 3rd hour, every 30 minutes |
