MIH #1 Flashcards
Healthy people 2020-
provides family center care goal
Types of families
Single-parent family, Nuclear family, Extended family or multigenerational, Married blended family
Single-parent family
Most socially vulnerable because of no support system.
Can impact overall health, school achievement, and increase risk of high risk behaviors.
Nuclear family
Husband wife children, biological or adopted children.
Live as individual unit but share responsibilities.
Number of nuclear families have decreased
Extended family or multigenerational
aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins.
Provide social support, financial support to one another
Married blended family
Married couple with children from pervious relationship
Nursing Theory- Family systems theory:
Family pays a vital heath.
A change in one family member impacts the entire family.
Beliefs and values play the most powerful role in the actions of individuals and families.
Significantly patient centered.
Provide respect an include in plan of care- family
Nursing Assessment- Low risk vs high risk family
Pregnancy low risk- stable, financial income, bottle level of Maslow’s being met, no comorbidities, no social concerns
High risk family- lack of support, comorbidities, abuse, low income, nutrient, insurance, transportation, communication problem, immigrant, alcoholism, drug abuse
Look at family planning, preconception care, prenatal care, intrapartum care, postpartum care, And
care of the infant/newborn through 1 year
Family definition
Whoever the patient says is family
Structural unit that functions and society- fundamental social unit.
Assumes responsibility for transmitting cultural background and core values
Culture
Communication, Subculture, Acculturation, Assimilation, Ethnocentrism, Family roles, Time orientation
Communication-
Interpreters, find out the language they speak, assess teaching (variety of methods). provide privacy. Document utilizing an interpreter.
Subculture-
culture within a culture. Mexican America, Asian American.
Acculturation-
One culture retains old culture and obtains apart of another culture. Occurs when people from one culture meshes with people from another
Assimilation-
Total loss of ones own culture, lose cultural identity become part of larger culture
Ethnocentrism-
believing that own culture is they best. Values and belief are the only right way. Hard to navigate during a nurse. Learn to agree to disagree
Family roles-
depending on the culture, parents are more involved or not.
Family roles European American family-
spouse is more involve in birth
Family roles Hispanic-
Maternal grandmother is involved in the care
Family roles Native American-
whole family involved in care
Family roles Asian American-
father is not involved in child birth practices
Community Health
Vulnerable Populations, Care management, Home Care
Vulnerable Populations-
Women, racial or ethnic minorities
Adolescent girls- pregnancy, STD risk
Incarcerated women- risk of stds, communicable diseases, influence on drugs. Homeless- increased risk of infectious disease, lack of prenatal care, substance abuse, chronic diseases,
Care management-
Assess safety of the home.
Pay attention to infection control
Home Care-
Growing need for women’s health.
Utilized for birthing practices.
Nursing home care can shorten hospital stays.
Expensive, what is considered covered, reimbursement concerns.
Levels of Preventive Care
Primary, Secondary, Tertiary
Primary-
prevent something from happening- immunizations, exercise, care seats, nutrition
Secondary-
Screenings come into play, mammogram, breast self exams.
Targeting at risk populations.
Genetic testing- older than 35 yrs old
Tertiary-
Pt always has disease.
Tx or rehabilitation to prevent further deterioration
Assessment is key, 51 percent of the population are
Women
Rural-
vulnerability of readily available access to care
Urban-
increased access to care
Family focused concerned about the
mom and the baby
What is Maternity and Women’s Health Nursing in the 21st Century?
Maternity Care, Women’s Health Care, Role of nurses in Women’s Health care, Significant advances in care AWON
Maternity Care-
includes prenatal care intrapartum care and postpartom care
Women’s Health Care-
physical aspects and psychological aspects, Within look at social needs-defines Maslow’s
Role of nurses in Women’s Health care-
concerned about well being of the woman and infant
Significant advances in care AWON-
set forth standards and goals that maternity nurses should meet
Contemporary Issues and Trends- Healthy People 2020 Goals
33 of these goals are directly related to maternal, infant and child health.
Overall being of the population. Different aspects. Specific goals that target women and infants. Nurses are involved, starts with us.
Healthy People 2020 Goals Examples include:
Reduce the rate of fetal and infant deaths
Reduce the rate of maternal mortality
Reduce preterm births
Reduce cesarean births among low risk women
Goal is to improve access to care and quality of care
Healthy People 2020
What determines healthy people goals-
mortality rates for infants and women, specified to specific race or ethnicity
Why is there an increase in African American mortality rate-
Unconscious bias.
Be aware and individualize patient care.
Data driven it shows high mortality rate in African American women
Contemporary Issues and Trends- Problems with the U.S. health care system
Structure of the health care delivery system, Reducing medical errors, High cost of health care, Limited access to care, Health Literacy
Structure of the health care delivery system-
fragmented and the structure of it makes it inaccessible to people.
Access to care issue
Reducing medical errors-
3rd leading cause of death in the US.
High cost of health care-
Economy driven, Intensive care = increases price
Limited access to care-
Transportation, Teenage Pregnancies, Child care, Finances, Support, Insurance
Health Literacy-
Understanding about their health, simplified education, teach back, demonstrating, describing, interpreter.
People are afraid to advocate for themselves.
Providing basic care we can utilize a lay interpreter.
Any consent for procedure, med info, diagnostics- need a licensed interpreter.
Use resources.
Trends in Fertility and Birth Rates
Trends, Low birth weight and preterm birth, Infant mortality in the United States, International infant mortality trends, Maternal mortality trends, Maternal morbidity
Trends:
Fertility and rates, c section rates, vary from year to year.
Decrease in unnecessary c sections over the last 5-6 year, comes from patient advocacy.
Low birth weight and preterm birth-
Diet, substance use, prenatal care, multiple fetal gestation, comorbidities, ethnicity. Low weight <2500 grams.
Non Hispanic black infants 2x more likely to die in the first year (nonmodifiable risk factor)
Infant mortality in the United States-
Can be reflective in care. Congenital issues can arise at any time
International infant mortality trends-
US higher occurrence of low birth rates than any other country
Maternal mortality trends-
Better access to prenatal care- resources-clinics, certified nurse midwife, OBGYM travel to the location, telemed
Maternal morbidity- Obesity
one-third of women in the U.S. are obese.
Obesity Increases the occurrence of diabetes and hypertension-
further leads to complications during pregnancy, congenital anomalies, miscarriages, infertility, and fetal death
Trends in Fertility and Birth Rates- Can still have
hypertension, infection, hemorrhage, fetal death risk for any healthy individual
Perinatal Health Care Services
Ambulatory care, Community-based care, High technology care, Telehealth advances, Disadvantages, Social Media influences
Ambulatory care-
Basic care.
Receive for prenatal care.
Notice abnormality or high risk, then progressive higher level of care= more interventions.
Determine higher level of care= assessment
Community-based care-
Home health care (bed rest), Income based care.
Planned parent hood. WIC clinic- helps with nutritious food, formula, etc
High technology care-
Preconception counseling helps women determine if they are able to have children or risk of fertility, congenital malformations.
Our health care system emphasizes high-technology care because we cannot operate without technology
Telehealth advances-
Equipment to care for mom and baby is high tech. Vital signs, contractions, lab tests, genetic screenings. Any time of intensive care= tech
Disadvantages-
Need to have phone, laptop, internet. Cannot do Physical assessment, using senses
Social Media influences-
Misinformation- don’t believe everything you see, not one size fits all, confirm with HC provider. Nurses are first line of education.
Equipment to care for mom and baby is high tech
Vital signs, contractions, lab tests, genetic screenings
Any time of intensive care=
High tech
Childbirth Practices
Prenatal care, Certified nurse-midwives, Physicians, Family-centered care, Bonding intervention
Prenatal care-
Promotes better pregnancy outcomes, supports healthy behaviors, and utilized as early risk assessment tool.
Provided by obstetrician, certified nurse midwife, women’s HC nurse practitioners, physicians assistance specialized in obstetrics care
Certified nurse-midwives-
More focused on non invasive interventions.
Associated with lower C section rate.
Midwives who are not nurses.
RN has masters- Certified nurse-midwives.
Lay midwife- did not have formal medical training. Focused on home births.
Doula- another support person, advocate in L&D room.
Physicians-
Comorbidities focused
Family-centered care-
significant other, siblings, anybody who the women determines is family
When determining family centered care be involved.
Includes education.
Make sure baby within the mom as often as possible.
Skin to skin contact- family centered care.
Promotes bonding encourages breastfeeding’s.
Bonding intervention-
skin to skin.
After baby is born woman can let whoever to cut the umbilical cord- family centered care
Other Issues in Women’s Health Nursing
Involving consumers and promoting self-management, Domestic violence, International concerns, Women’s health
Involving consumers and promoting self-management-
Women are healthy during pregnancy we want them to maintain health.
Encourage well balanced diet and activity, monitor intake, smoking, alcohol drugs.
Domestic violence-
Don’t feel safe at home, cannot meet needs, taking care of self or baby, harm to mom and baby.
Leads to fetal death.
Ask with desertion- privacy.
International concerns-
Female genital mutilation and human trafficking in the US- sexual assault, miscarriages, sell the baby and stem cells.
Women’s health-
Increase risk for hypertension, breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, domestic violence- the incidence battery increases during pregnancy (tension, financial burden, drama)
Standards of Practice and Legal Issues in Provision of Care: What is Standard of Care?
Level of care would provide in a similar situation
Standards of Practice and Legal Issues in Provision of Care: Standards defined by several organizations
defined by various organizations. Special interest in nursing or W/I health
ANA-
American Nurses Association
AWHONN-
Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses
ACNM-
American College of Nurse-Midwives
NANN-
National Association of Neonatal Nurses
We have to know
facility standards
How to know to reference care book if
unsure about a procedure
Always reference an experienced nurse but always look at
policies and procedures for that facility
Standards of Practice and Legal Issues in Provision of Care: Risk management
System of checks and balances. Anytime an adverse effect occurs a risk management nurse looks at the situation. Decreasing risk of harm.
Standards of Practice and Legal Issues in Provision of Care: Sentinel events
that should not have happened.
Preventable event.
Fecal impaction is a sentinel event (lack of intervening).
Something that causes pt temporary or permanent harm from lack of intervening.
Standards of Practice and Legal Issues in Provision of Care: Failure to rescue
Neglect, ignoring.
Clinical judgement impaired.
Follow Chain of command to report.
Call provider.
When we exhausted all of our intervention and failed to reach out to other people. Document, Advocate.
Medical director is physician not good.
All NSG interventions used then to charge nurse, provider, medical director.
Standards of Practice and Legal Issues in Provision of Care: Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN)
Sets standards for nursing practice.
Standards of Practice and Legal Issues in Provision of Care: Evidence Based Practice
Providing care based on data collected that proves to be efficient and effective. Determined by research and clinical trials.
Standards of Practice and Legal Issues in Provision of Care: Outcomes oriented practice
compared clinical standards with current care practices
Ethical Issues in Perinatal Nursing and Women’s Health Care
Reproductive technology, Allocation of resources, Older-age pregnancies, Third-party payers, Induced ovulation and in vitro fertilization, Multifetal pregnancy reduction, Intrauterine fetal surgery, Treatment of very low-birth-weight infants.
Reproductive technology-
Ethical issues, Genetically modification
Allocation of resources-
Ethical issues, Prenatal babies have higher risk of respiratory distress in intrauterine life. Who has higher chance of survival. Team effort (opinions). Ethics committee responsible.
Older-age pregnancies-
Ethical issues. Higher risk for premature, genetic malformations (down syndrome), Multiples (fertility decreases), increased risk for hypertension, diabetes, obesity.
Induced ovulation and in vitro fertilization-
Technology used and cost (expensive)
Multifetal pregnancy reduction-
Health of woman vs fetus. Therapeutic or Medically necessary
Intrauterine fetal surgery-
Risk for death for mom and fetus. Cost = expensive.
Treatment of very low-birth-weight infants-
Allocation of resources
Research in Perinatal Nursingand Women’s Health Care
Ethical guidelines for nursing research, How do we analyze benefits and risk in ethical dilemma, Analysis of benefits and risks
Ethical guidelines for nursing research-
Prenatal patients= risky
How do we analyze benefits and risk in ethical dilemma-
American Nurse Assoication Code of ethics. Autonomy, justice, equality, beneficence
When managing health care for pregnant women at a local prenatal clinic, the nurse should recognize that the most significant barrier for access to care is the pregnant woman’s:
Inability to pay
Influences growth and development by
hormones
development in the female reproductive system
Estrogen and progesterone
Lack of these hormones cause function abnormality
Estrogen and progesterone
Holistic nursing care for
child bearing women
Preconception needs-
child care
Focus on health promotion and prevention
Females
We want to focus on preventative health care in all aspects in
Health care
muscular organ positioned in the pelvic cavity.

Where the fertilized egg is received, implanted, and retained.
Uterus-
Huge role in child birth process.
Uterus-
Responsible for female menstrual cycle.
Uterus-
The inner lining of the ___ is what is shed during monthly menstrual.
Uterus-
Muscles Actively involved in the birth process.
Uterus-

Uterine tubes. Where the ovum is fertilized by sperm.
Endometrium vascular lining of the uterus and is
shed during menstruation
Cervix-
Made of connective and elastic tissue. It is what dilates or stretches during child birth.
Ovary-
Produce ova (female eggs). Responsible for ovulation and hormone production.
Vagina-
Lies between the bladder and rectum. Passage way for menstrual flow and pathway for vaginal birth
Vulva-
Part of external genitalia
Hormone production
decreases as age
Female Reproductive System: Internal Structures atrophy and become
less functional
Mammary Gland- Two made up of
Lobules
placed between the 2nd and 6th rib
Lobules
Same size and shape.
Physiologic Alterations of Breasts
Although one is typically larger than one others.
Physiologic Alterations of Breasts
Can vary depending on age, hormone production, and hereditary.
Physiologic Alterations of Breasts
Nutrition can also influence alterations.
Physiologic Alterations of Breasts
Characteristics-Smooth no dimpling or masses (cancer).
Physiologic Alterations of Breasts
Estrogen stimulates growth of breast tissue
Physiologic Alterations of Breasts
Lactation, sexual arousal, nonmalignant nodules can develop in response to hormonal changes.
Breasts Function-
Menarche & Puberty- female first menstruation, typically within first yr there is Anovulation (no ova are released), typical age is
13 yrs old onset.
Marker of transition between childhood and puberty.
Menarche
Shed the lining of the uterus.
Menstrual Cycle
Preparing the uterus for pregnancy.
Menstrual Cycle
Periodic uterine bleeding which occurs 14 days after ovulation.
Menstrual Cycle
Length of the cycle is typically 28 days.
Menstrual Cycle
Varies depending on the pt. bleeding will last 5 days and accumulation of blood loss is about 50 mL, can vary.
Menstrual Cycle
Oxygenated fatty acids that function like hormones.
Prostaglandins (PGs)
Produced in most organs including the uterus.
Prostaglandins (PGs)
Moderate hormonal activity, do play a role in smooth muscle contractility.
Prostaglandins (PGs)
Play a key role in ovulation and influence the production of estrogen and progesterone.
Prostaglandins (PGs)
Can be influenced by environmental factors, emotions, physical factors.
Prostaglandins (PGs)
The release can have effect of organs and system in the body, gi system- diarrhea.
Prostaglandins (PGs)
CNS- generalized systemic responses (aches, headaches, increase temp, above baseline)
Prostaglandins (PGs)
Menopause 3 stages
Climacteric, Perimenopause, Menopause
Climacteric-
transition phase between ovarian function and decrease in hormone production.
Occurs before menopause, four year span, during menopause no estrogen is released from the ovaries.
Perimenopause
Ovarian function significantly decreases the production of ova also decreases.
Perimenopause
Females will have anovulatory menses- still bleeding but no ova are being released.
Perimenopause
last menstrual period, noted 1 year after no mensuration.
Menopause
Can occur between ages 35-60. Average age of 51.
Menopause
Barriers to Seeking Health Care
Financial issues, Cultural issues, Gender issues
Such as lack of education is preventing pt from getting jobs or receiving heath care insurance from job
Financial issues
Income and social status also. They need healthcare coverage until needed healthcare services. Huge barrier
Financial issues
different beliefs.
Cultural Issues
Pts may use alternative tx other than evidence based practice.
Cultural Issues
Provide pt with facts, respect their religion.
Cultural Issues
gender concordance- female pt may want female provider only and vise versa. Can be an issue.
Gender Issues
Most providers are male and nurses are female mostly.
Gender Issues
