why is it important to increases risk for placental abruption, preterm
screen for IPV? birth, LBW infants, and infections from
nonconsensual sex
1. biopsychosocial stresses of pregnancy
may strain relationship beyond couple's
why might IPV increase ability to cope
d/t pregnancy? 2. man may be jealous of fetus, resenting intrusion into
couple's relationship
3. man may be angry at unborn child or woman
4. beating may be man's conscious/subconscious
attempt to end pregnancy
- develop relationship, have a qualifying statement
- use empowering words, make a safety plan, assure
How can nurses best confidentiality
support pregnant woman - provide info on fetal development
experiencing IPV?
- give support and info that enables them to
make their OWN decisions and maintain

- pain relief -> epidural opioids, PCA, IM/IV, /NSAIDs,
Assessments for PO/PP opioids
care? - ensure patent airway and positioning to prevent
aspiration until fully responsive
- assess condition of incision, intestinal gas,
fundus, lochia, ins&outs, vital signs (every 15 min
for 1 - 2 hours until stable)
- bowel sounds, GI/GU elimination, circulation of lower
extremities
- pain relief
- early introduction of solid food as desired/tolerated
- oxytocin may be added to fluids to ensure
fundus remains contracted until
carbetocin administered in operating
what does nursing are room
look like PO/PP? - meet learning needs. Teaching on side-lying
position, football hold, use of pillows for
breastfeeding
- showering as acceptable
- remove foley after 8 - 12 hours

how can nurses - skin-to-skin ASAP (preferably within 30 - 60 minutes)
support mother- - breastfeeding within 30 - 60 minutes
infant interaction
PO/PP?
what is the involution return of uterus to nonpregnant state following
process? birth. Begins immediately after expulsion of
placenta, progresses rapidly (approx. 6
weeks)
- first 12 hours, fundus of uterus located at level
of umbilicus. Involution progresses rapidly
what is the movement of over first few days
the fundus after birth? - 2cm below umbilicus at delivery. 12 hours
after rises 1 cm above, by 23 at level of
umbilicus, and then fundus descends 1 - 2 cm
every 24 hours. By 6th PP day, fundus halfway
between umbilicus and symphysis pubis
- uterus at delivery about 1000g, after 2 weeks 350g, after
6 weeks 60 - 80g
what hormones increased estrogen and progesterone stimulate growth
stimulate involution of uterus in pregnancy
increase and why?
prenatal uterine growth result of hyperplasia (increase
in # of muscle cells) and
how does uterus change hypertrophy (enlargement of existing cells).
PP and why? Decrease in hormones after delivery of placenta
causes autolysis (self-destruction of excess
hypertrophied tissue). Thus,
muscle cells that grew from pregnancy do not
