SCOPE AND STANDARDS Flashcards
- EUTHANASIA
- EUTHANASIA
- ABORTION
ETHICO-MORAL CONSIDERATIONS OF MATERNALCHILD PRACTICE
The practice of terminating the life of a person or
an animal because they are perceived as living an
intolerable life, in a painless or minimally painful
way either by lethal injection, drug overdose, or
by the withdrawal of life support.
EUTHANASIA
a controversial issue because of
conflicting religious and humanist views
EUTHANASIA
- The condition or disease of the patient is terminal and death is imminent.
- The patient is irreversibly comatose and there is no reasonable hope for recovery or improvement.
- The burden of treatment far outweighs the expected benefits
INDICATIONS FOR DO NOT RESUSCITATE (DNR)
the removal or expulsion of an embryo
or fetus from the uterus, resulting in, or caused by, its
death.
ABORTION
Can occur spontaneously as a miscarriage, or be artificially induced through chemical, surgical or other
means.
ABORTION
- To save the life of the pregnant woman.
- To preserve the woman’s physical or mental health.
- To terminate a pregnancy that would result in a child born with a congenital disorder which would be fatal or associated with significant morbidity.
- To selectively reduce the number of fetuses to lessen health risks associated with multiple pregnancies
THERAPEUTIC ABORTION:
- Contraception
- Advances in Genetics and Genetic Technology
- Alternatives Methods of Birth
- Common Reproductive Issues
- Reproductive Health Bill
ETHICAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES IN PERI-NATAL NURSING
it’s essential for “procreative liberty “
HUMAN RIGHTS BENEFITS OF CONTRACEPTION
- It prevents the conception of unwanted children and so reduces the number of possible abortions
- It enables women whose health would be at risk if they conceived, to continue to have sex
- The use of condoms helps prevent sexually transmitted diseases and HIV
HEALTH BENEFITS OF CONTRACEPTION
- It prevents the conception of children that a family cannot support
- It enables people to avoid having more children than they want
- It improves marriage
FAMILY BENEFITS OF CONTRACEPTION
- It promotes gender equality and the autonomy of women
BENEFITS FOR WOMEN OF CONTRACEPTION
It enables world population to be controlled and thus protects the environment and reduces poverty
DEMOGRAPHIC BENEFITS OF CONTRACEPTION
- PRENATAL TESTING
- NEWBORN / PEDIATRIC SCREENING
ADVANCES IN GENETICS AND GENETIC TECHNOLOGY
Early treatment can be started to prevent the harmful irreversible effect
- NEWBORN / PEDIATRIC SCREENING
Routine screening / testing of infants for certain genetic disorder such as:
- phenylketonuria,
- congenital hypothyroidism
- sickle cell anemia,
- galactosemia
- NEWBORN / PEDIATRIC SCREENING
Genetic test information can be used prenatally
to make decisions at:
- prenatal therapies
- pregnancy termination
- plans for immediate treatment at the time of birth.
- PRENATAL TESTING
Suggested to couples who are known carriers or have a previous baby with a genetic chromosomal disorder
- PRENATAL TESTING
To detect any genetic abnormality in the fetus (genes or chromosomes)
- PRENATAL TESTING
- WATER BIRTH
- HYPNO BIRTHING
- HOME BIRTH
ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF BIRTH
a method of giving birth, which involves immersion in warm water
WATER BIRTH
Proponents believe that this method is safe and provides many benefits for both mother and infant, including pain relief and a less traumatic birth experience for the baby.
WATER BIRTH
- Properly heated water - ease the transition
from the birth canal to the outside world because the warm liquid is thought to resemble the intrauterine environment.
BENEFITS OF WATER BIRTH FOR BABY
- Relaxation
- Pain management
- Intact perineum/decreased episiotomy
BENEFITS OF WATER BIRTH FOR MOTHER
a form of hydrotherapy which has been shown to be an
effective form of pain management for a variety of
conditions.
WATER BIRTH
believed to aid stretching of the perineum and decrease the risk of skin tears
WATER BIRTH
- Infection
- Slowed labor - relaxing effects of water
- Blood loss
WATER BIRTH RISKS AND CONCERNS
Designed to teach women to trust in Nature’s way of birth and to relax and let their bodies do what is needed.
HYPNO BIRTHING
By practicing a few key techniques, mothers’ program their minds and condition their bodies to birth easily
HYPNO BIRTHING
Uses the technique of guided imagery, affirmation, and special breathing techniques that are taught to the mother to achieve a shorter and more comfortable labor
HYPNO BIRTHING
- Allows relaxation for the mother
- Reduces fear
- Relax perineal muscles
- Allows a birth companion
- Helps mother to develop a confidence that she could control her body
HYPNO BIRTHING PROS
- Dissatisfaction for mother if she is expecting complete absence of pain
- In obstetric emergencies, the course of hypno-birthing has to be stopped to start with emergency interventions for herself and baby
HYPNO BIRTHING CONS
An attended or an unattended childbirth in a non-clinical setting, typically using natural child birth methods, that takes place in a residence rather than in a hospital or a birth center
HOME BIRTH
Attended by a midwife or lay attendant with expertise in managing home births
HOME BIRTH
Professionals attending home births can be obstetricians, certified midwives
HOME BIRTH
- Gets the privacy and security of home environment.
- Safety from hospital – borne pathogens
- Gets more natural and less stressful birth in more comfortable and familiar environment.
- Can avoid strangers during the birth, thus gets
reduction in stress. - More satisfaction after the birthing process
HOME BIRTH PROS
- In case if emergency occur mother have to be
transferred to hospital setting. - Causes stress, financial problems and threats to both mothers’ and infants’ safety.
- Interventions like induction of labor and analgesia are not practiced in home birth.
- Finds difficulty in managing emergency neonatal resuscitation
HOME BIRTH CONS
- Population Issue
- Family Planning
- Contraceptives
- Sex Education
- Teenage Pregnancy
- Abortion
- Health of LGBT
- Safe Motherhood
- Sexual Health – STD, HIV, AIDS
- Reproductive Health Bill
COMMON REPRODUCTIVE ISSUES
- Popularly known as the “RH Bill”,
- Philippine bill aiming to guarantee universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care.
