mod 2 complication Flashcards
What situations should the pt reach out to a provider during pregnancy that could indicate an emergency
bleeding/leaking fluid from vag
sudden severe swelling of face hand fingers
severe long lasting HA
discomfort pain in lower abdomen
fever chills
vomitting or have persistent nausea
dysuria
vision problems or blurry vision
dizzy
suspect less movement than normal after 28 wks
have thought of harming yourself or baby
Type of miscarriage
inevitable, threatened, complete, incomplete, missed, septic, recurrent
S/S of miscarriage
bleeding (spotty heavy) cramping, pain
management of pt post miscarriage
bedrest, supportive care, D&C
S/S for ectopic pregnancy
pain, bleeding, abd tenderness (lower quadrant), referred shoulder pain
What is the treatment for ectopic pregnancy
meth or surgery (may or may not leave the Fallopian tube based on if pt desire to retry, must wait 3 months to try again)
recurrent ectopic pregnancy need appt if she thinks she is prego
what is placenta previa and what are S/S
the placenta covers the cervical OS
PAINLESS BLEEDING in the later half of pregnancy
what are complication related to placenta previa
premature ROM, premature birth
what is the management of placenta previa prior to 36 weeks
conservative to push the pregnancy as long as possible, they will need a c/s
NO VAGINAL EXAM BY NURSE
What is the S/S for abruptio placentae
Sudden intense, rigid abdomen, bleeding, mass noted under placenta
high risk for deaths to both
how do you manage abruptio placentae
vaginal birth is still an option with extreme monitoring and a possible stat C/S
what are the three placenta variations and to what layer do they penetrate
accreta- endometrium
increta- myometrium
percreta- uterine wall to other organ
these lead to post delivery hemorrhage and require C/S or hysterectomy if bleeding cannot be controlled
what is the main concern with vasa previa
rupture and compression of the vessels to fetus
it is diagnosed with color or pulse Doppler US
can lead to fetal death
what leads to suspicion of cervical insufficiency and what is the treatment of it
multiple miscarriage, bed rest and cerclage between 11-15 wks
what causes dehydration, weight loss, ion imbalance, ketosis or acetonuria
hyperemesis gravid arum NOT morning sickness
what are some collaborative care interventions done with a pt suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum
rule out problems like kidney liver gallbladder, pancreas
psychological assessment
give iv fluids, meds, bland foods
what are some disease the baby is at risk for if blood is incompatible with mothers
icterus gravis, kernicterus, bilirubine encephalopathy, (erythroblastosis fatalis syndrome)
preventions is rhogam at 28 weeks (Coombs test)
in what situation would the baby be at risk for incompatible blood
mom is negative and baby is positive
ABO is when mother is O and fetus is A,B,AB(assess for hyperbillirubinemeia)
what can anemia during pregnancy lead to
hemoglobinopathy like sickle cell or thalassemia, puerperal complication (boob ouch)
what is the treatment and Dx is the pt has a 3 hr glucose test where 2/3 are over 130mg/dL
she has gestational diabetes mellitus and need to start treatment with exercise and diet first, then metformin, if that doesn’t work then insulin it is MF
what are complications associated with GDM with the fetus
spontanous AB, infecions, preeclampsia
diagnosed with NST, breathing, movement, tone, HR, amniotic fluid
how long are post partum GDM patent monitored after
6 weeks
chronic HTN criteria
prior to 20th wk or before pregnant
gestational HTN criteria
BP over 140/90 after 20 weeks (recorded x2 4 hr apart)
preeclampsia criteria
HTN with proteinuria or w/o after 20 wks
what are prognosis for HTN disorders in regard to perinatal morbidity/mortality
uteroplacental insuffuncency , premature birth
Pre E is condition with HTN and proteinuria developed after 20 wks in previously normotensive mother… if proteinuria is absent what else would conclude to Pre E
thrombocytopenia, impaired Liver, new renal insufficiency , pulmonary edema, new cerebral or visual disturbances
What are risk factor for Pre E
1st baby under 19 over 40
new paternity
extreme obesity
history of pre e
african
family hx
multifetal gestation
chronic renal dx
chronic HTN
DM
RA
SLE
what is the path of pre e
main problem is poor perfusion
decreased renal profusion->low oncotic pressure causes edema->vasoconstriction of cerebral vessels lead to rupture cap that impact eyes and DTR
what is a laboratory dx of a severe variant of severe pre e that involves hepatic dysfunction
HELLP
hemolysis(H)
elevated liver enzymes (EL)
low platelets (LP)
S/S of HELLP
flu like symptoms, epigastric pain, nausea, HA, bruising
Tx- Mg, BP meds, assess for shock and hepatic rupture
risk factor for HELLP
1st pregnancy
multiple gestatiom
age extreme
obesity
GDM, collagen dx, HTN
family hx of pre e
new paternity
how do we control seizures and HTN
for SBP >160 and DBP >110 then labetalol or hydralazine
seizure- mag sulfate
therapeutic range for Mg sulfate
4.8-8.4
what level do you notice mental status change while on mg sulfate
10-12
how is Mg sulfate given
IV piggyback and NEVER IM
what is the assessment for mg sulfate
DTR, mental q hour, respiration qhour, HR qhour, UOP qhour, listen to lung qshift , bedrest, NPO or Clear liquid
warning signs of mg sulfate toxicity
absent DTR, UOP <30mL/hr
