Q

When assessing bladder elimination, explain the concern if a woman has frequent voids of less than 150 cc after birth?

A

This is known as urinary retention, mother is not emptying bladder all the way, mother’s fundus should be palpated to know how full bladder is

Q

Explain the procedure and risks of expressing clots from the uterus after birth.

A

Apply firm and gentle pressure on fundus in the direction of the vagina. Very important that the uterus is contracted firmly before attempt to express clots
Risk : pushing on uterus that is not contracted can invert the uterus and cause massive hemorrhage and shock

Q

Explain the differences in effacement in the parous woman and the woman who has not previously given birth.

A

Parous woman – thicker at point of time compared to nullipara, nullipara completes most cervical effacement early in the process of dilation

Q

Why are intermittent rather than continuous contractions in the laboring woman important to the fetus?

A

To allow fetal exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products in the placenta during the period between the end of one contraction to the beginning of the next one.

Q

BP FOR prec

A

look up

33
Q

stimulates sustained contraction of the uterus and causes vasoconstriction

A

methylergonovine

34
Q

prevents hemorrhaging after labor

A

meth

35
Q

who do you not want to give the meth drug to

A

mom with hypertension, thrombophlebitis, CAD

36
Q

stimulates contractions of the uterus; used for treatment of postpartum hemorrhage caused by uterine atony

A

carboprost trome

37
Q

dont want to give carboprost trome to what patients

A

asthma, hypertension/hypotension, anemia, jaundice

38
Q

POST PARTUM hemorrhage

A

carboprost trome

39
Q

route for carboprost trome

A

IM ONLY

40
Q

route for Oxytocin/Pitocin

A

IV or IM

41
Q

route for meth

A

IM or PO

42
Q

side effects of carboprost Tromethamine/Hemabate

A

tachycardia, vomiting, diarrhea

43
Q

Occurs when bleeding into loose connective tissue occurs, while over lying tissue remains intact. Development as result of blood vessel injury and spontaneous deliveries, and deliveries where vacuum and forceps were used.

A

hematomas

44
Q

symptoms of hematomas

A

deep severe unrelieved pains and feelings of pressure that are not relieved by usual methods, tachycardia, decreased BP.

45
Q

hematoma treatment

A

small hematomas reabsorb naturally, large hematomas may require incision, evacuation of clots, and location/ligation of bleeding vessels

46
Q

pharm therapeutic management when late post-partum hemorrhage occurs

A

oxytocin, methergine, prostaglandins

47
Q

therapeutic management when late post-partum hemorrhage occurs

A

If bleeding continues or reoccurs, dilation and stretching of cervical OS2 permits suctioning or scraping of the walls of the uterus may be necessary to remove fragments.

48
Q

Explain the cause of increased respiratory rate, skin pallor, decreased blood pressure, anxiety and confusion in the hemorrhaging woman.

A

Decrease in BP due to decrease in circulating blood volume, respiratory rate increases as woman becomes more anxious in attempts to take in more oxygen, vasoconstriction in skin which cause pallor

49
Q

nursing care during a hemorrhage

A 
vital signs and pulse 
assessment of fundus and lochia 
uterine massage
oxygen administration 
iv fluids 
blood administration 
meds
urine catheter 
position 
notify Doc
family support
50
