What is the most common medical complication of pregnancy?
Hypertension
What is PIH?
Pregnancy induced hypertension
How is PIH diagnosed?
140/90 two times 6 hours apart
What is gestational hypertension?
Onset after 20 weeks of gestation without proteinuria, return of normal B/P in
postpartum
What is Pre-eclampsia?
onset after 20 weeks of gestation with proteinuria, multisystem vasopastic, reduced
organ profusion, classified as mile or severe
Risk factors for PIH
women younger than 20 or older than 40, african and native americans, primigravidas,
obesity, multiple fetus', family history, comorbitities (diabetes), chronic hypertension,
chronic renal disease
A concentration of _________ mg/dl or greater in at least ___ random urine
specimens is proteinuria.
30;2
Edema is not used as a marker of what?
,preeclampsia
What is pathologic edema?
generalized accumulation of fluid in the face, hands or abdomen that is not responsive
to 12 hours of bed rest, rapid weight gain of more than 2 kg in 1 week
If a womens last menstrual period is 5/21 when is her estimated due date?
February 28th
What is Leopolds maneuver?
It is used to determine the baby's position and know where to place the stethescope.
Left occiput anterior =
Easy labor
Left occiput posterior=
Difficult/painful labor
What is considered tachycardia for a fetus? Indicative of what?
>160 bpm, indicative of maternal or fetal infection or fetal hypoxia (an ominous sign).
What is considered fetal bradycardia? Indicative of? Intervention?
<120 bpm, indicative of fetal hypoxia or stress and maternal hypotension after epidural
initiation (place client on left side, increase fluids, and stop pitocin).
WHAT IS AN EARLY DECELERATION?
HR SLOWS BEFORE PEAK OF CONTRACTION AND RECOVERS BY END OF
CONTRACTION. (BEING EARLY IS GOOD)
WHAT ARE EARLY DECELERATIONS INDICATIVE OF?
HEAD COMPRESSION (NOT OMINOUS=NO INTERVENTION REQUIRED).
WHAT ARE LATE DECELERATIONS?
, HR DECREASES AFTER PEAK OF CONTRACTION AND RECOVERS AFTER
CONTRACTION ENDS. (BEING LATE IS BAD).
WHAT ARE LATE DECELERATIONS INDICATIVE OF? INTERVENTIONS?
FETAL STRESS AND HYPOXIA OR DEFICIENT PLACENTAL PERFUSION (CHANGE
MATERNAL POSITION AND DISCONTINUE OXYTOCIN (PITOCIN)).
WHAT ARE VARIABLE DECELERATIONS?
TRANSIENT DECREASE IN HR ANY TIME DURING CONTRACTION.
WHAT ARE VARIABLE DECELERATIONS INDICATIVE OF? INTERVENTIONS?
CORD COMPRESSION (CHANGE MATERNAL POSITION-KNEE CHEST/ASS IN
AIR). IF CORD IS PROTRUDING NEVER TOUCH.
What is decreased variability?
A smooth baseline. The baseline should vary by 10 to 15 beats every minute. The loss
of short term variability can be ominous where as long term loss (20 to 40 mins) is
probably not significant and can indicate a sleep cycle.
What is decreased variability indicative of?
Fetal sleep cycle, depressant drugs, hypoxia, or CNS anomalies.
What is an acme?
A peak of something
What are the three different ratings for APGAR CRITERIA?
0 (POOR), 1, and 2 (BETTER). LOWEST SCORE IS A 0 AND HIGHEST IS 10.
What are the different criteria for APGAR SCORING?
COLOR, HR, REFLEX IRRITABILITY, MUSCLE TONE, RESPIRATORY EFFORT.
