Daily kick counts, diet and exercise, insulin admin,

18
Q

> 140/90 after 20 wks, or >30/15 increase from baseline. No protein or edema, returns 12 wks postpartum.

19
Q

A

Gestational hypertension with 1 to 2 protein urea, weight gain more than 4.4 pounds per week in the second and third trimester, mild edema

20
Q

Severe preeclampsia

A

> 160/100, 3 to 4 protein urea, oliguria, elevated creatinine greater than 1.2, cerebral or visual disturbances such as headache and blurred vision, hyperreflexia, ankle clonus, pulmonary or cardiac involvement, extensive Edema, liver dysfunction, epigastric and right upper quadrant pain, thrombocytopenia

21
Q

Eclampsia

A

Severe preeclampsia with seizure activity or coma. Usually preceded by headache, severe epigastric pain, hyperreflexia, hemoconcentration.

22
Q

Heart disease with pregnancy

A

Class-1 exhibits no symptoms with activity.
Class 2 have symptoms with ordinary exertion.
These are candidates for a normal pregnancy and delivery.
Class III display symptoms with minimal exertion and maybe bedrest during pregnancy.
Class IV is the client has symptoms at rest and is not a candidate for pregnancy.

Restrict NA and follow cardiac diet.
Inderal to lower BP and treat tachycardia
Gentamicin prophylactic abx
Ampicillin prophylactic abx
Heparin
Avoid foods high in vitamin k
Digoxin to increase CO or for fetal tachycardia

23
Q

Terbutaline

A

Relaxes uterine smooth muscles to prevent contraction. Should be discontinued if there are signs of pulmonary edema which includes chest pain, shortness of breath, respiratory distress, wheezing in crackles, productive cough. Restrict oral and IV fluids to reduce risk of pulmonary edema. Withhold if heartrate is above 120 to 140.

24
Q

Indomethacin

A

An anti-inflammatory that blocks prostaglandins and suppresses uterine contractions. Discontinue if signs of pulmonary edema. Should not exceed 48 hours. Only used for gestational age less than 32 weeks. Monitor for postpartum hemorrhage. Given with food or rectally.

25
Q

Mechanisms of labor. 7

A
Engagement
Descent
Flexion
Internal rotation
Extension
Restitution and external rotation for shoulders
Expulsion
26
Q

Stages of labor

A

Stage 1: 12 1/2 hrs, onset labor, complete dilation, 1cm per hr for first time, 1 1/2 for others
Latent: 4-6 hrs, 0-3, contractions 30-45 sec, 5-30 min apart
Active: 2-3 hrs, 4-7, 40-70 sec, 3-5 min, some decent
Transition: 20-40 min, 8-10 sec, 45-90, 2-3 min,

Stage 2: 5-120 min, intense contractions 1-2 min, birth

Stage 3: placenta delivery; shiny Schultz, dull duncan(maternal side)

Stage 4: 1-4 hrs, stabilization, lochia scant to moderate

27
Q

Pain meds for labor

A

Stadol and Nubian do not cause resp depression, IM IV

Demerol, fentanyl, are also used.

Labor should be at least 4 cm dilated and well established.

28
Q

FHR monitoring

A

Baseline 110-160
Variability: absent is non reassuring
Minimal 25
Periodic changes are with contractions, episodic are not

Category 1: normal baseline, moderate variability, possible accelerations, possible early decels, no variable or late decels

Category 2: tachy or Brady baseline, absent, minimal, or marked variability, decels >2<10, late decels, no accelerations with stimulation

Category 3: sinusoidal pattern, absent variability with recurrent variable or late decels, bradycardia,

29
Q

How often to monitor FHR

A

Low risk: latent 60
Active 30,
2nd stage 15

High risk: latent 30
Active 15
2nd 5

30
Q

Bishop score

A

Used to determine readiness for labor by evaluating the cervix. Score of 0 to 3 is assigned to cervical dilation, cervical effacement, cervical consistency such as firm medium or soft, cervical position such as posterior mid position or anterior, presenting part station. Score of nine for first time or five for the second time indicates readiness.

31
Q

Cervical ripening

A

Cytotec, Cervidil, Prepidil
Use with caution for clients that have glaucoma, asthma, cardiovascular, or renal disease. It can cause hyperstimulation which is treated with terbutaline. It can cause fetal distress in which oxygen is needed, repositioning, IV fluids.

32
Q

Oxytocin

A

6 to 12 hours after prostaglandin administration. Should be engaged at 0 station. Use the port closest to the client for IV administration. Reassessed every 30 minutes. FHR and contractions every 15 min. I&O.

Increase until contraction pattern established and then maintain
Dc if hyperstimulation: >2 min frequency, lasting >90sec, intensity >90, resting >20, no relaxing.

Terbutaline to counteract it.
