childbearing and childrearing families
- childbearing= process of giving birth
- childrearing= bringing up child
primary goal of both maternal and child health nursing
promotion and maintenance of optimal family health.
Examples of the scope of practice (5)
✅Preconception health care
✅ Care of women during three trimesters of pregnancy and the puerperium
1st trimester= 1st to 3rd month
2nd trimester= 4th to 6th month
3rd trimester= 7th to 9th month
✨ the 6 weeks after childbirth, sometimes
termed the fourth trimester of pregnancy
✅Care of infants during the perinatal period
✨ the time span beginning at 20 weeks of pregnancy to 4 weeks [28 days] after birth
✅Care of children from birth through late adolescent
✅ Care in a variety of hospital and home care settings
FOUR PHASES OF HEALTH CARE
- Health promotion
- Health maintenance
- Health restoration
- Health rehabilitation
➜Educating parents and children to follow sound health practices through teaching and role modeling
1.Health promotion
➜Intervening to maintain health when risk of illness is present
2.Health maintenance
➜Using conscientious assessment to be certain that symptoms of illness are identified and interventions are begun to return patient to wellness most rapidly
- Health restoration
➜ Helping prevent complications from illness; helping a patient with residual effects achieve an optimal state of wellness and independence; helping a patient to accept inevitable death
Health rehabilitation
Encouraging a woman with gestational trophoblastic disease (abnormal placenta growth) to continue therapy
Health rehabilitation
child with a renal transplant tocontinue to take necessary medications
Health rehabilitation
Encouraging women to be partners in prenatal care; teaching parents the importance of safeguarding their home by childproofing against poisoning
2.Health maintenance
➜Example: Caring for a woman during a complication of pregnancy such as gestational diabetes or a child during an acute illness such as pneumonia
- Health restoration
➜Example: Teaching women the importance of rubella immunization before pregnancy; providing preteens with information about safer sex practices well before they are likely to become sexually active.

Birth Rate
total number of live births per 1,000 of a population in a year.
reflects what proportion of women who could have babies are having
Fertility Rate
number of pregnancies per 1,000 women of childbearing age
Fertility Rate
defined as the death in utero of a child (fetus) weighing 500g or more, roughly the weight of a fetus of 20 weeks or more pregnancy;
Fetal Death Rate
define fetal death rate
death before birth but greater than 20 weeks gestation.
number of fetal deaths per 1,000 live births
Fetal Death Rate
what does Fetal Death Rate reflect?
Reflects the overall quality of maternal health and whether prenatal care is available
Neonatal Death Rate
death within the first 28 days of life.
what does Neonatal Death Rate reflect?
- quality of care available to women during pregnancy and childbirth
- quality of care available to infants during the first month.
Perinatal Date Rate
sum of the fetal and neonatal rates.
Perinatal period
time period beginning when a fetus reaches 500g (about 20 weeks of pregnancy) and ending about 4 to 6 weeks after birth.
