Maternity Case 2: Brenda Patton
Guided Reflection Questions
Opening Questions
How did the simulated experience of Brenda Patton’s case make you feel?
The simulated experience of Brena Patton’s case was pretty straight forward.
Describe the actions you felt went well in this scenario.
The actions that I felt went well in this scenario was assessing the patient, asking her for her
pain level, gave comfort measures, recognizing she had pain and tried to make her as comfortable as
possible. I also was able to educate her and make her and her significant other less anxious. I was able
to administer her medications easily.
Scenario Analysis Questions1
EBP What complications can occur if group B streptococcus is not treated?
The complications can occur if group B streptococcus is not treated include: skin infection,
infection of the bloodstream, pneumonia, bone and joint infections, endocarditis, and
meningitis.
PCC What should be included in the priority teaching for Brenda Patton?
-“We can see that you are in active labor. We will be monitoring you and will do some
diagnostic tests to make sure everything is fine with you and your baby.”
-Explain that she had a ruptured membrane and what this includes.
- Her results came back as GBS positive. Group B Streptococcal continues to be one of the
leading infections of infant mortality abd morbidity in the US. The primary risk factor is maternal
intrapartum colonization, and your screening revealed that you were positive. Prophylactically we will
give you Penicillin to reduce the chances of the baby contracting the infection.
-Vital signs within normal range.
-Patient received education regarding that the medication would not harm the fetus which
allowed her to comfortably give me permission to administer her the medication for her condition.
T&C What key elements would you include in the handoff report for this patient? Consider the
