NUR 370 MATERNITY TEST 1 STUDY GUIDE LATEST UPDATED 2021/2022 Chapter 1 Health disparities - refer to differences in the health status of different groups of people. Morbidity - the unhealthy sta... te of an individual within a population. Mortality - the number of people who died within a population. HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020- 4 goals 1. Attaining high quality health care 2. Achieving health equity 3. Creating social and physical environments that promote good health for all 4. Promoting quality of life, healthy development and healthy behaviors across all life spans **failure to communicate is a major cause of errors. PROBLEMS WITH US HEALTH CARE- DELIVERY SYSTEM • Structure of the system • Reducing medical errors – 3rd leading cause of death in the US • High cost of health care – higher prices, technology, obesity. Only 21 states allow NP full practice • Limited access to care – most significant barrier is inability to pay. o Lack of transportation, child care, insurance • Health care reform – affordable care act • Accountable care organizations • Health literacy TRENDS IN FERTILITY • Low birth weight (<5 lbs 8 oz.), preterm labor (<37 weeks) • International infant mortality trends (6.1/1000) • Maternal mortality (17.3/100,000) - cardiovascular disease, non-cardio disease, unsafe abortion, infection • Maternal morbidity (obesity) - HTN, diabetes, decreased fertility, congenital abnormalities, miscarriage, fetal death EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE- providing care based on evidence gained through research and clinical trials. AWHONN (assoc. of women’s health, obstetric and neonatal nurses, WHO (world health org.) QSEN (quality and safety education for nurses) STANDARDS OF PRACTICE AND LEGAL ISSUES- ◦ PREVENTION OF ERRORS- Joint commission list of abbreviations NOT to use: ◦ U, u (unit) ◦ IU (international unit) ◦ QD, qd, Q.D., q.d. (daily) ◦ QOD, etc. (every other day) ◦ Trailing 0 (2.0), lack of leading 0 (.2) - write 2 or 0.2 ◦ MS – can mean morphine sulfate or magnesium sulfate ◦ MSO or MgSO – same as above – write out ◦ ETHICAL ISSUES ◦ Technology ◦ Informed consent ◦ Scientific advances ◦ REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY ◦ IVF, multifetal pregnancy/reduction, menopausal women, HIV positive, rights of the embryo, cloning **consult the agency’s policies if unsure of how to perform a procedure- they are the standards of care. Chapter 3 Female anatomy Barriers to Entering the Health Care System • Financial issues – racial and socioeconomic disparities – limited finances associated with lack of access to care and delay in seeking care • Cultural issues – community focus – language, trust, disrespect, diverse groups • Constantly changing demographics – culturally sensitive and competent care, some people do not receive care bc of lack of trust • Gender issues (sexual orientation) Caring for Women Across the Life Span- menarche to menopause • Disease prevention o Adolescents – vaginitis, PAP tests, STI and pregnancy prevention, contraception o Young/middle adulthood – may use OBGYN as primary doctor, promote a healthy lifestyle o Late reproductive age – depression more likely, health maintenance screening, breast and ovarian cancer Risk Factors slides #5 &6 • Social/cultural/genetic • Socioeconomic – maternal and fetal death, risks, etc. Higher in disadvantaged populations • Substance use and abuse: o Marijuana – crosses placenta and reduces fetal oxygen o Cocaine – vasoconstriction, increase risk of miscarriage o Opiates (heroine, etc.) - women who use have a 6x higher risk for problem outcomes o Meth – irregular heartbeat, preterm birth o PCP – associated with multi drug use and neurobehavioral effects on the fetus o Alcohol – low birth weight, behavioral problems, disabilities o Cigarettes – vasoconstriction, low birth weight o Caffeine – increase risk of miscarriage. No more than 8oz of caffeine a day • Nutrition – folate/folic acid helps to prevent neural tube defects • Risk for medical/gyno conditions – PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension), endometriosis, uterine fibroids Violence Against Women - IPV- cycles, screening • Most common incidence of violence – reported 1 in 6 women o Physical/emotional, assault, isolation, controlling all aspects of the woman’s life o Cycle of violence: ▪ Stage 1: tension building ▪ Stage 2: abusive incident ▪ Stage 3: honeymoon period • Screening: o Patient should be interviewed alone o Look for inexplicable/untreated injuries (various parts of the body in different stages of healing) o Injuries that don’t match the description Laboratory and diagnostic procedures • Mammogram • STI screening • Chest x ray • Hearing • Lipid profile • Dexa scan (older woman, check hip and spine for bone density) • Drug screening, HIV, Hep B Menstrual cycle • Menarche – 1st period • Puberty – entire transition between childhood and sexually mature adult • PROSTAGLANDINS – oxygenated fatty acids classified as hormones o Produced in most organs of body (menstrual blood is a potent PG source) o Play an important role in many physiologic, pathologic and pharm reactions Cycle: occurs approx 14 days after ovulation • Endometrial cycle – 4 phases o Menstrual phase (days 1-5) o Proliferative phase (days 6-14) - day 14 = ovulation o Secretory phase – (days 15 - 28) end of ovulation to 3 days before next period (when you can get pregnant – implantation usually 7-10 days after ovulation o Ischemic phase • Hypothalamic pituitary cycle – stimulated release of GnRH and FSH. FSH stimulates development of graafian follicles and their production of estrogen • Ovarian cycle – primary follicle, graafian follicle, ovulation egg, corpus luteum, degenerating corpus luteum Chapter 4 Amenorrhea primary and secondary – absence of periods • Primary – anatomic abnormalities, endocrine disorders, PCOS, chronic disease, eating disorders, medications, drug abuse, strenuous exercise, stress • Hypogonadotropic amenorrhea – problem in central hypothalamic-pituitary axis • Secondary – 6 month or more absence (usually pregnancy) Dysmenorrhea - painful periods PMS vs PMDD – signs and symptoms and treatment PMS – cyclic symptoms occuring in luteal phase of mentrual cycle • Cluster of physical, physcologic, and behavioral symptoms • 30-80% of women experience symptoms • Treatment – diet, exercise, herbal therapies PMDD – extreme form of PMS • Last 7-10 days of menstrual cycle • Emphasis on mood • Affects 3-8% of women • Treatment similar to PMS but may warrant counseling, medication, hypnosis, acupuncture Endometriosis - growth of endometrial lining outside of the uterus • Painful periods and pain during sex • FDA approved drug for treatment – Orlissa 150-200mg or surgical intervention STI’s – Bacterial, viral /S&S, treatments – can be prevented and cured • Bacterial – o Chlamydia ▪ S/S - silent and highly destructive – screen asymptomatic and pregnant women ▪ Treatment – drug therapy w Azithromycin 1g once, doxycycline o Gonorrhea (culture) ▪ Oldest communicable disease – exclusively by sexual contact ▪ Women asyptomatic ▪ Treatment – antibiotics Ceftriaxone 125 mg once, Doxycycline, azithromycin *drug resistant strains on the rise* o Syphilis ▪ S/S - primary red painless lesion 5-90 days ▪ Secondary – 6 weeks – 6 months ▪ Management – penicillin G 2.4 million units once IM --> if allergic, tetracycline, doxy, or ceftriaxone o pelvic inflammatory disease ▪ S/S - acute: super painful, subacute: dull, cramping, intermittent pain, chronic: constant pain ▪ Treatment – prevention counseling, bedrest, oral/parenteral therapy, education • Viral – can be treated o herpes simplex 1 or 2 ▪ S/S - multiple lesions, fever, chills, malaise, severe dysuria ▪ 1 – transmitted nonsexually ▪ 2 – transmitted sexually ▪ Prevention is critical ▪ Acyclovir 400mg orally tid for 7-10 days, valacyclovir, famciclovir, keep lesions dry, topical lidocaine o HPV, ▪ More than 100 strains – 14 are cancer causing, gardasil targets 4 of those strains ▪ Most prevalent STI in ambulatory setting – genital warts ▪ Symptoms – irritating vaginal discharge w itching, post sex bleeding ▪ Screening – history, pap smear ▪ Management: TCA trichloroacetic acid, laser, cryotherapy.
