A
social determinants of health
SDOH describe conditions, both physical and social, that influence health outcomes.
what are the SDOH
exonomic stability
social and community context
access to and quality of education
access and quality of health care
neighborhood and built environment
human trafficking
The unlawful practice of using people for commerce, often through forced labor or sexual exploitation.
preconception

prenatal
occuring prior to birth
postpartum
The time frame following birth that lasts for 6 to 8 weeks.
inter-conception care
Care given to maternal clients and their partners between one pregnancy and the next to optimize their health.
Discuss the social determinants of health that contribute to maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.
SDOH have been shown to contribute to unintended pregnancy, preterm birth, infertility, cervical and breast cancers, and maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Of particular concern is the disparity in Black American maternal health. In the U.S., pregnant Black clients are three or four more times likely to die from complications related to pregnancy and have double the risk of experiencing severe maternal morbidity than non-Hispanic White maternal clients.
fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
A spectrum of manifestations, including medical issues, behavioral issues, and learning difficulties, that can manifest in a person who was exposed to alcohol before birth.
Maternal complications directly related to smoking include
damage to the structure and patency of the umbilical cord, spontaneous abortion, increased risk of ectopic pregnancy, and placental abruption.
sudden unexplained infant death (SUID)
The unexpected death of an infant under the age of 1 year. Prior to investigation, there may not be a known cause of death.
Which of the following maternal or fetal complications or outcomes are associated with smoking during pregnancy?
SUID
preterm birth
spontaneous abortion
preclampsia
A serious complication of pregnancy occurring after 20 weeks of gestation in which a client’s blood pressure value is above 140/90 mm Hg.
It can be accompanied by proteinuria, edema, headache, and vision changes. Preeclampsia can become severe, resulting in seizures.
Opioid use during pregnancy is correlated with increased risks of
miscarriage or stillbirth, preterm labor and birth, placental abruption, preeclampsia, and birth defects
neonatal abstinence syndrome
(NAS)
A condition caused by infant withdrawal from substances that the fetus was exposed to during pregnancy.
