A

subtract 14 –
21 -14 = 7

Q

what is the first 2 weeks after conception considered?

A

an all-or-none period
-exposure is either so great that the embryo dies, OR only a few cells are damaged and the embryo recovers and develops normally

Q

what happens during weeks 3-8?

Q

how does the umbilical cord arteries and vein work

21
Q

What is the function of amniotic fluid?

A

-cushions from injury
-provides fetus with a stable thermal environment
-fluid enables the fetus to grow
-fluid enables the fetus to practice swallowing and breathing

22
Q

what does amniotic fluid contain?

A

urea, uric acid, bililrubin, fructose, fat, leukocytes, proteins, epithelial cells, enzymes and lanugo

23
Q

what does the Placenta excrete? (endocrine)

A

human placental lactogen (hPL)
human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
progesterone
estrogen

24
Q

what does the placenta do metabolic wise?

A

facilitates hydrostatic & osmotic pressure gradients for active and facilitated transport of nutrients and waste

25
Q

T/F: the ductus arteriosus lies between the aorta and the pulmonary artery

A

T – this allows us to bypass the liver

26
Q

T/F: The ductus venosus is the structure that allows the blood to bypass the liver

A

T

27
Q

T/F” The foramen ovale is a hole between the ventricles

A

False

28
Q

T/F: the umbilical vein contains oxygen poor blood

A

false (in fetal circulation it is flipped)

29
Q

What are the goals of fetal circulation

A

-maintain flow to the placenta
-shunt blood away from lungs and liver

30
Q

what are the three special ducts in fetal circulation

A

1) ductus venosus (liver bypass umbilical vein to IVC
2. Foramen ovale (right ventricle bypass) hole b/t right and left atria
3) ductus arteriosis (pulmonary artery/lung bypass) duct b/t pulmonary artery and descending aorta

31
Q

Which of the following hormone elevations will indicate a high probability that the client in pregnant?

A

HCG – human chorionic gonadotropin

32
Q

what does prolactin do?

A

milk production

33
Q

what does luteinizing hormone do?

A

get the mature eggo out

34
Q

positive signs of pregnancy

A

-fetal heartbeat per Doppler or fetoscope
-fetal movement (palpated or visualized *per trained profes)
-visualization of fetus on ultrasound
-delivery

35
Q

is it normal to see a mild elevation of WBC in pregnant women?

A

yes

36
Q

are preggy people at higher risk for gallstones?

A

yes because there is decreased gallbaldder muscle tone that leads to delayed emptying (progesterone)

37
Q

glomerular filtration rate changes during pregnancy

A

increased rate, but it is sloppy so glucose and traces of protein may be spilled

38
Q

what is pre-conception care goals?

A

folic acid 800 mcg daily
begin tracking menses
D/C caffeine tobacco, ETO, illegal drugs, some Rx meds
review family genetic history
normal BMI nutrition

39
Q

what is the definition of pre-term

A

before 34 weeks
however–>
late pre-term (34-36)

40
Q

what would 37 be

A

term m

41
Q

what is late term

A

after 41 weeks and before 42 weeks

42
Q

what labs to do at 28 week >

A

CBC, glucose tolerance test, ABS (if Rh negative), Syphilis (high risk)

43
Q

36-37 week labs

A

GBS testing, repeat GC/CT (<25)

44
Q

initial labs

A

CBC, blood type, Rh, ABS, syphilis, rubella status, hep B and C, HIV, urine culture, gonorrhea and chlamydia, pap smear, TB testing (in high risk pts), varicella, TORCH

45
Q

why is Rhogam given during pregnancy?

A

to prevent the formation of maternal antibodies that might attack the fetus of an RH neg mom with an RH pos fetus

46
Q

at how many weeks can we auscultate with the doppler the fetal heart tones?

A

10-12 weeks

47
Q

when should the fetal heart beat be seen on US?

A

after 6 weeks

48
Q

when should fetal movement be felt?

A

18-22 weeks

49
Q

fundal height measurement after 20 weeks

A

use measuring tape

50
Q

what are some triggers for the labor process

A

-uterine distention
-placental aging
-hormonal mediation (progesterone withdrawal, prostaglandin synthesis, corticotropin releasing hormone)

51
Q

signs of impending labor

A

“lightening: the fetus drops into the pelvis, making it easier to breathe, and harder to walk, increase in braxton hicks contractions
-cervical mucous/bloody show
-weight loss due to increase in loose stools r/t prostaglandins
-burst of energy
-nesting
-change in sleep cycles

52
Q

how is fetal circulation different from newborn circulation?

A

the goal is to shunt blood away from the lungs and liver and maintain the flow to the placenta
3 special ducts:
ductus venosus (liver bypass)
foramen ovale (right ventricle bypass)
ductus arteriosis (pulmonary artery/lung bypass)
