Q

what does GTPAL or GP mean?

A

G (gravida): the current pregnancy including past pregnancies
T (term births): the number of pregnancies ending >37 weeks’ gestation, at term

A (abortions): the number of pregnancies ending before 20 weeks or viability
L (living children): number of children currently living

2nd Terminology
G (gravida): the current pregnancy including past pregnancies
P (Para): ORParityis the number of completed pregnancies beyond 20 weeks gestation (whether viable or nonviable). … A woman who has been pregnant once and deliveredtwinsafter 20 weeks would be noted to be a Gravid 1 Para 1.

Q

hyperemsis gravidarum mangement

A

Management
* Hydration-IV fluids, I&O
* Conservative - lifestyle changes, address cause of nausea if possible e.g. avoiding trigger smells
* Diet - amount, ginger, crackers, timing
* Wrist bands for nausea
* Diclectin - doxylamine + pyridoxine
Support education: reassurance, home care follow-up

17
Q

placenta previa therapeuteic managment

A

Therapeutic management: dependent on bleeding, amount of placenta over os, fetal development and position, maternal parity, labour signs and symptoms

18
Q

nursing assessment and managment of placenta previa

A
  • Vaginal bleeding (painless, bright red in 2nd or 
3rd trimester, spontaneous cessation then recurrence), soft relaxed uterus-
  • NO PV EXAM Except by Dr with a double set up
  • Monitoring of maternal–fetal status
  • Vaginal bleeding; pad count
  • FHR
  • Start an IV
  • Maintain the pregnancy for as long as possible
  • Support and education: fetal movement counts, prolonged bed rest (if necessary)
  • signs and symptoms to report
    Preparation for cesarean birth
19
Q

placenta pervia

A

a problem during pregnancy when the placenta completely or partially covers the opening of the uterus

20
Q

aburptio placentae

A

Separation of placenta leading to compromised fetal blood supply
Etiology unknown

21
Q

assessment and management of aburptio placentae

A
  • PV exam by Dr only
  • Bleeding (dark red) – Present or absent
  • Pain (knife-like), uterine tenderness, board like rigidity, contractions
  • Fetal movement and activity (decreased)non stress test
  • Laboratory and diagnostic testing: ultrasound, CBC, fibrinogen levels, PT/a PTT, type and cross-match

Extensive bleeding
* IV start, Restoration of blood loss; possibility of DIC,
* Tissue perfusion: left lateral position, strict bed rest, oxygen therapy, vital signs, fundal height, continuous fetal monitoring
* Support and education: empathy, understanding, explanations, possible loss of fetus, reduction of recurrence
* Emergency C-section

22
Q

preterm labour

A

Regular uterine contractions with cervical effacement and dilation between 20 and 37 weeks’ gestation

23
Q

preterm labour nursing assessment

A
  • Subtle signs e.g. backache
  • Contraction pattern (4 contractions in 20 minutes or 8 contractions in 1 hour)
  • Show, SROM
  • Laboratory and diagnostic testing: fetal fibronectin
  • cervical length shortens via transvaginal ultrasound, salivary estriol, home uterine activity monitoring
24
Q

therapeutic management

A
  • Bed Rest, head low position
  • Education, reassurance, Psychological support
  • NICU visit and Neo consult
  • Tocolytic drugs - magnesium sulfate, terbutaline, indomethacin, nifedipine
  • Corticosteroids – given to mom for fetal lung maturation, betamethasone 12mgs X 2 doses at an interval of 24 hours
  • Antibiotic prophylaxis for women with SROM
25
pre- exsiting hypertension
before pregnancy or before 20 weeks
26
gestational hypertesnion
* Hypertension without proteinuria after 20 weeks; * systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥110 mmHg are present for at least four hours -Vasospasm, hypoperfusion, endothelial injury
27
pre eclampsia
Preeclampsia is a multisystem progressive disorder characterized by the new onset of hypertension and proteinuria or the new onset of hypertension and significant end-organ dysfunction with or without proteinuria in the last half of pregnancy or postpartum * generally when proteinuria(the presence of abnormal quantities of protein in the urine, which may indicate damage to the kidneys.) is present * Bed rest, daily BP monitoring and fetal movement counts, antihypertensives * Hospitalization; IV magnesium sulfate
28
gestational hypertension nursing assessment and managment
* Nutritional and fluid intake/output, weight, edema; * urine for protein; * BP, DTR testing, magnesium toxicity, * laboratory for LFT, magnesium levels * fetal monitoring; uterine contraction monitoring for labour * Quiet environment, sedatives, anti hypertensives, magnesium sulfate * IV with restricted fluids- 80ml per hour * seizure precautions and management * Preparation for birth – C-Section
29
ABO incompatibility
type O mothers & fetuses with type A or B blood (less severe than Rh incompatibility)
30
Rh incompatibility
exposure of Rh-negative mother to Rh-positive fetal blood; sensitization; antibody production; risk increases with each subsequent pregnancy and fetus with Rh-positive blood
31
blood incompatibility nursing assessment and management
* Nursing assessment: maternal blood type and Rh status * Nursing management: RhoGAM at 28 weeks, and again after birth in case the baby is Rh Positive * Investigations done are the Rosette and the Kleihauer Betke
32
gestational diabetes (pathophy)
* Fetal demands * Placental hormones that causes Changes in insulin resistance Human Placental Lactogen
33
gestational diabetes assessment
* Health history; physical examination; risk factors * Screening at first prenatal visit; screening at 24 to 28 weeks for women considered at risk *
34
gestational diabetes surveillance
**Maternal surveillance:** urine for ketones, nitrates, and leukocyte evaluation of renal function/trimester; eye exam in 1st trimester; **Fetal surveillance:** ultrasound; alpha-fetoprotein levels; biophysical profile; nonstress testing; amniocentesis Blood Sugar returns to normal postpartum
35
polyhydramnios cause and assessment
Amniotic fluid less than 2000mL **Cause** Esophageal atresia, fetal anomalies, diabetes **assessment** - risk factors, fundal height, abdominal discomfort, difficulty palpating fetal parts or obtaining FHR
36
polyhydramanios management
Polyhydramnios is the excessive accumulation of amniotic fluid **Nursing management** * Educate mom of risks * ongoing fundal height assessment, ultrasounds * assisting with therapeutic amniocentesis * Vigilant for cord prolapse at time of ROM * Look for congenital defects in baby' **Therapeutic management:** close monitoring; removal of fluid, indomethacin decreases fluid by decreasing fetal urinary output)
37
oligohydramnios
amniotic fluid less than 500mL **Causes** Fetal defects in the kidneys, placental problems (post dates), PROM, maternal complications like diabetes, hypertension, dehydration **Assessment: ** fluid leaking from vagina, ultrasound **Therapeutic management: ** Serial monitoring with ultrasound Amnio infusion Continuous fetal surveillance Expedite birth
38
pre rupture of membranes
PPROM - before 37 weeks’ gestation, PROM- after 37 weeks No digital cervical exams until woman is in active labour **Nursing assessment: ** Risk factors, signs and symptoms of labour, FHR monitoring, amniotic fluid characteristics, Nitrazine test, ultrasound
39
PPROM managment
* Treatment with Antibiotics * Expectant management if fetal lungs immature * Monitor uterine contractions, FHR, Vital Signs * Bed rest, hospitalise * Infection prevention, education and support * Plan for discharge or induction
