MCN Flashcards
FRAMEWORK: The primary goal of MCN
Promotion and maintenance of optimal family health
FRAMEWORK: the 4 philosophies of MCN
- Family-centered
- Community centered
- Evidence-based
- Challenging role for nurses
FRAMEWORK: MCN can be visualized within a framework in which nurses use the:
- Nursing Process
- Nursing Theory and
- Quality and Safety Education for Nurses ( QSEN )
- Four Phases of Health Care
FRAMEWORK: What are the 4 phases of health care?
- Health Promotion
- Health Maintenance
- Health Restoration
- Health Rehabilitation
FRAMEWORK:
1) a scientific form of solving a nursing problem.
2) serves as the basis for assessing, formulating a nursing diagnosis, planning, implementing, and evaluating care.
Nursing Process
FRAMEWORK: are designed to offer helpful ways to view patients so nursing activities can be created to best meet patient’s needs
Nursing Theories
FRAMEWORK:
1) the goal of this QSEN is to address the challenge of preparing future nurses with the abilities necessary
2) to continuously improve the quality and safety of the health care systems in which they work
Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN)
FRAMEWORK: QSEN Competencies Required for MCN
- Patient-Centered
- Teamwork & Collaboration
- Evidence-Based Practice
- Quality Improvement
- Safety
- Informatics
FRAMEWORK:
- the systematic investigation of problems that have implications for nursing practice usually carried out by nurses.
- ________ can influence nursing practice
Nursing Research
FEMALE REPRO: process that permits two living beings to produce a third one that is different from each of them.
PROCREATION
FEMALE REPRO:
- is the biological process by which new individual organisms are produced.
- The known methods of reproduction are broadly grouped into two main types: sexual and asexual.
REPRODUCTION
FEMALE REPRO:
- an individual can reproduce without involvement with another individual of that species.
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
FEMALE REPRO:
1) Requires the involvement of two individuals, typically one of each sex.
2) During production in humans, each parent transmits to the child one of the two copies of his or her genetic material, located on the
parent’s 23 pairs of chromosomes.
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
FEMALE REPRO: The external genetalia is collectively called ______
Vulva (Pudenda)
FEMALE REPRO: fatty pad over the symphysis pubis; cushions & protects pubic bone
Mons Pubis (mons veneris)
FEMALE REPRO: longitudinal folds of pigmented skin extending from mons pubis to the perineum; covered with thick, curly hair; Escutcheon
Labia Majora (labium majus)
FEMALE REPRO: hairless folds of tissue within the labia majora, extending from clitoris to the fourchette
Labia Minora (smaller lips)
FEMALE REPRO:
- small ( approx 1-2 cm ) rounded organ of erectile tissue at the upper end of labia minora
Clitoris
FEMALE REPRO: Skin covering of the clitoris
prepuce
FEMALE REPRO: epidermal secretion with strong odor
Smegma
FEMALE REPRO: - almond-shape space between the labia minora, clitoris and fourchette
Vestibule
FEMALE REPRO: The vestibule contains
urethral meatus
vaginal introitus
hymen
FEMALE REPRO: The urethral meatus contains the
Skene’s glands (paraurethral glands)
FEMALE REPRO: The vaginal introitus contains the
Bartholin’s glands (vulvovaginal glands)
FEMALE REPRO: Thin fold of tissue formed where labia minora meet and the site of episiotomy
Fourchette
FEMALE REPRO: How long is the vagina
(8-12 cm) 4cm diameter
FEMALE REPRO: Space surrounding the cervix
Fornix
FEMALE REPRO: Keeps the vagina acidic
Doderlein’s bacilli
FEMALE REPRO: What are the three functions of the vagina
- Organ of copulation
- Passage in delivery & menstrual blood
- Secretory duct during menstruation
FEMALE REPRO: aka the womb; pear-shaped, hollow muscular organ anteverted, directed forward 7-8 cm long
Uterus
FEMALE REPRO: How long is the uterus?
7-8 cm
FEMALE REPRO: Three functions of the uterus
- menstruation
- environment for pregnancy
- labor & delivery
FEMALE REPRO: Three layers of the uterus
Perimetrium, Myometrium, Endometrium
FEMALE REPRO: Main part of the uterus, forms bulk of muscles
Corpus (body)
FEMALE REPRO: The uppermost part of the uterus
fundus
FEMALE REPRO: In the cervix, it joins the corpus to the cervix & contains uterine canal.
Isthmus
FEMALE REPRO: forms the main opening of the uterus
cervix
FEMALE REPRO: how long is the cervix?
2-4 cm
FEMALE REPRO: a plug that fills and seals the cervical canal during pregnancy.
Operculum
FEMALE REPRO: Part of the cervix that opens into the uterine cavity.
internal os
FEMALE REPRO: part of the cervix that opens into the uterine cavity.
external os
UTERINE LIGAMENTS:
2 wing-like structures that extends from the lateral margin to the uterus to
the pelvic walls
BROAD
UTERINE LIGAMENTS: 2 fibrous cords from the uterine walls that helps hold the uterus in its forward position
ROUND
UTERINE LIGAMENTS: 2 cord-like folds of the peritoneum from the lower cervix to the sacrum.
UTEROSACRAL
UTERINE LIGAMENTS: Mackenrodt’s Ligaments (or Cardinal Ligaments)
TRANSVERSE
FALLOPIAN TUBE: aka “salphinges”
FALLOPIAN TUBES
FALLOPIAN TUBE:
part of tube that lies in the uterine wall
