Infertility - CORRECT-ANSWERSInability to conceive a child or sustain a pregnancy to
birth
Infertile couple - CORRECT-ANSWERSOne who has not become pregnant after at least
1 year of unprotected coitus
Subfertility - CORRECT-ANSWERSTerm used rather than "infertility" because it
denotes that couple has a potential to conceive
Affects 11% to 14% of couples desiring children
Primary subfertility - CORRECT-ANSWERSNo previous conceptions
Secondary subfertility - CORRECT-ANSWERSPrevious pregnancies occurred; however,
couple is not able to presently conceive
Sterility - CORRECT-ANSWERSInability to conceive due to known cause such as
absence of a uterus
Male Subfertility Factors - CORRECT-ANSWERSDisturbance in spermatogenesis
Inadequate FSH and LH production
Seminiferous tubule, duct, or vessel obstruction
Seminal fluid changes preventing sperm motility
Development of autoimmunity
Ejaculation problems
, Female Subfertility Factors - CORRECT-ANSWERSInadequate FSH or LH production
Anovulation
Problems of ova transport through the fallopian tubes to the uterus
Uterine factors
Cervical and vaginal factors
Fertilization - CORRECT-ANSWERS(also referred to as conception and impregnation):
union of ovum and spermatozoon
Implantation - CORRECT-ANSWERScontact between growing structure and uterine
endometrium, approximately 8 to 10 days after fertilization
Psychological Tasks 1st Trimester - CORRECT-ANSWERSAccepting the
pregnancy.....Common reactions include ambivalence, or feeling pleased yet not pleased
about pregnancy.
Psychological Tasks 2nd Trimester - CORRECT-ANSWERSAccepting the
fetus....narcissism and introversion - worried about parenting and that responsibility.
Psychological Tasks 3rd Trimester - CORRECT-ANSWERSPreparation and end of
pregnancy....preparing the nursing, getting impatient for arrival.
Physiologic Changes During Pregnancy - CORRECT-ANSWERSCardiac output and
blood volume increase 30-50%. By term it is 45-50%, to meet the greater metabolic
needs. Heart rate increases during pregnancy.
Blood pressure ...
Position of pregnant patient can affect BP. In the supine position, maternal weight &
pressure of the uterus on the vena cava can decrease venous blood flow to the heart.
, Encourage the patient to lie in a left lateral position or semi-Folowers position. You can
also place a wedge under one hip to alleviate pressure to the vena cava.
Pulse increases and remains elevated throughout pregnancy.
Respirations increase due to the elevation of the diaphragm (up to 4 cm) and changes in
the chest wall to facilitate increased maternal oxygen demands. Some shortness of breath
may be noted.
Cervix - softening begins in order to efface and dilate.
Pigmentation increases :
Chloasma - pigmentation that occurs on the face
Linea nigra - dark line of pigmentation from the umbilicus extending to the public area
Striae gravidarum - stretch marks most notably found on the abdomen and thighs.
Musculoskeletal - Body alternations and weight increase necessitate an adjustment in
posture. Pelvic joints relax - preparing for growth of fetus and delivery.
Kidneys - GFR increases to the influence of pregnancy hormones and increase in blood
volume and metabolic demands. Urinary frequency is common in pregnancy.
, GI - N/V due to hormonal changes and increase of pressure within the abdominal cavity
(displaces stomach & intestines). Constipation can occur due to increased transit time of
food through the GI tract and increased water absorption.
Hormones are active during pregnancy - hCG, progesterone, estrogen, human placental
lactogen & prostaglandins are produced in large
Presumptive Sign - CORRECT-ANSWERSFelt by the woman:
Amenorrhea
Breat tenderness
Quickening
Nausea
Urinary Frequency
Fatigue
Probable Sign - CORRECT-ANSWERSFelt by the examiner:
Positive pregnancy test
Uterine enlargement
Hegar's sign
Goodell's sign
Chadwick's sign
Braxton Hicks Ctx
Pigmentation changes
