Read the questions and all the answers carefully- dont jump to the
conclusion too quickly
2. Look for the keywords- avoid the answers that include the word always,
never,all, every, only, must, no , except, or none.
3. Watch for specific details- avoid vague answers. Look for adjectives
and adverbs
4. Elimate the answers that are clearly wrong or incorrect eliminating
any correct answer increases the probability of sellecting the correct
answer by 25%
5. Look for the information gives within the anwers- for examaple: the
phrase diabetic with acidosis makes you think of normal pH
6. Look for the same or similar wording in the question and the answers.
7. Watch for grammatical inconsistencies- subjects and verbs should
agree, meaning singular subjet, singular verb or plural subject, plural
verb. If the question is an incomplete sentences , the correct answer
should complete the question in grammatically correct manner.
8. Dont read into questions- reading into the question can create errors
in judgement. If the question asks for an immediate response or
prioritization of action, choose the answer that is critical to the life and
safety of the client.
9. Make an educated guess- if you are unsure after carefully reading the
question and all the answers choose the answer with the most
information.

C- 1
ANS (or adrenergic of parasympatholitic response)
SNS involved in fight or aggression response
(anti-cholinergic/adrenergic)
Effects of SNS
1. Dilate pupil to aware of
surroundings
Release of norepinephrine (adrenaline cathecolamine)
medriasis
Adrenal medulla (potent vasoconstrictor)
2. Dry mouth
Increases body activities
VS = Increase
3. BP &
HR= increased
Except GIT decrease GITmotility
bronchioles
dilated to take more oxygen
4. RR increased
* Why GIT is not increased = GIT is not important!
5.
Constipation & urinary retention
Increase blood flow to skeletal muscles, brain & heart.
I. Adrenergic Agents Epinephrine (adrenaline)
SE: SNS effect
II. PNS: Beta adrenergic blocking agents (opposite of adrenergic
agents) (all end in lol)
- Blocks release of norepinephrine.
- Decrease body activities except GIT (diarrhea)
Ex. Propanolol, Metopanolol
SE:
B broncho spasm (bronchoconstriction)
E elicits a decrease in myocardial contraction
T treats HPN
A AV conduction slows down
Given to angina & MI beta-blockers to rest heart
Anti HPN agents:
1. Beta blockers (-lol)
2. Ace inhibitors (-pril) ex ENALAPRIL, CAPTOPRIL
3. Calcium antagonist
ex CALCIBLOC or NEFEDIPINE
Peripheral nervous system: cholinergic/ vagal or sympatholitic response

MATERNAL/OB NOTES
Human Sexuality
A. Concepts
1. A persons sexuality encompasses the complex behaviors,
attitudes emotions and preferences that are related to sexual self
and eroticism.
2. Sex basic and dynamic aspect of life
3. During reproductive years, the nurse performs as resource
person on human sexuality.
B. Definitions related to sexuality:
Gender identity sense of femininity or masculinity
2-4 yrs/3 yrs gender identity develops.
Role identity attitudes, behaviors and attributes that differentiate
roles
Sex biologic male or female status. Sometimes referred to a specific
sexual behavior such as sexual intercourse.
Sexuality - behavior of being boy or girl, male or female man/ woman.
Entity life long dynamic change.
- developed at the moment of conception.
II. Sexual Anatomy and Physiology
A. Female Reproductive System
1. External value or pretender
a. Mons pubis/veneris - a pad of fatty tissues that lies over the
symphysis pubis covered by skin and at puberty covered by pubic hair
that serves as cushion or protection to the symphysis pubis.
Stages of Pubic Hair Development
Tannerscale tool - used to determine sexual maturity rating.
Stage 1 Pre-adolescence. No pubic hair. Fine body hair
only
Stage 2 Occurs between ages 11 and 12 sparse, long,
slightly pigmented & curly hair at pubis symphysis
Stage 3 occurs between ages 12 and 13 darker & curlier
at labia
Stage 4 occurs between ages 13 and 14, hair assumes
the normal appearance of an adult but is not so thick and
does no appear to the inner aspect of the upper thigh.
Stage 5 sexual maturity- normal adult- appear inner aspect
of upper thigh .
b. Labia Majora - large lips longitudinal fold, extends symphisis pubis
to perineum
c. Labia Minora 2 sensitive structures
clitoris- anterior, pea shaped erectile tissue with lots sensitive
nerve endings sight of sexual arousal (Greek-key)
fourchette- Posterior, tapers posteriorly of the labia minorasensitive to manipulation, torn during delivery.
Site episiotomy.
d. Vestibule an almond shaped area that contains the hymen,
vaginal orifice and bartholenes glands.
1. Urinary Meatus small opening of urethra, serves for urination
2. Skenes glands/or paraurethral gland mucus secreting subs for
lubrication
3. hymen covers vaginal orifice, membranous tissue
4. vaginal orifice external opening of vagina
5. bartholenes glands- paravaginal gland or vulvo vaginal gland -2
small mucus secreting subs secrets alkaline subs.
Alkaline neutralizes acidity of vagina
Ph of vagina - acidic
Doderleins bacillus responsible for acidity of vagina
Carumculae mystiformes-healing of torn hymen
e. Perineum muscular structure loc lower vagina & anus
Internal:
A. vagina female organ of copulation, passageway of mens & fetus,
3 4inches or 8 10 cm long, dilated canal
Rugae permits stretching without tearing
B. uterus- Organ of mens is a hollow, thick walled muscular organ. It
varies in size, shape and weights.
Size- 1x2x3
Shape: nonpregnant pear shaped / pregnant - ovoid
Weight - nonpregnant 50 -60 kg- pregnant 1,000g
Pregnant/ Involution of uterus:
4th stage of labor
- 1000g
2 weeks after delivery
- 500g
3 weeks after delivery
- 300 g
5-6 weeks after delivery
- returns to original, state 50 60
Three parts of the uterus
1. fundus
- upper cylindrical layer
2. corpus/body
- upper triangular layer
3. cervix
- lower cylindrical layer
* Isthmus lower uterine segment during pregnancy
Cornua-junction between fundus & interstitial
Muscular compositions: there are three main muscle layers which make
expansion possible in every direction.
1. Endometrium- inside uterus, lines the nonpregnant uterus. Muscle
layer for menstruation. Sloughs during menstruation.
Decidua- thick layer.
Endometriosis-proliferation of endometrial lining outside uterus.
Common site: ovary.
S/sx: dysmennorhea, low back pain.

Pathogenic Anemia
- iron deficiency anemia is the most common hematological disorder. It
affects toughly 20% of pregnant women.
- Assessment reveals:
Pallor, constipation
Slowed capillary refill
Concave fingernails (late sign of progressive anemia) due to
chronic physio hypoxia
Nursing Care:
Nutritional instruction kangkong, liver due to ferridin content, green
leafy vegetable-alugbati,saluyot, malunggay, horseradish, ampalaya
Parenteral Iron ( Imferon) severe anemia, give IM, Z tract- if
improperly administered, hematoma.
Oral Iron supplements (ferrous sulfate 0.3 g. 3 times a day) empty
stomach 1 hr before meals or 2 hrs after, black stool, constipation
Monitor for hemorrhage
Alert:
Iron from red meats is better absorbed iron form other sources
Iron is better absorbed when taken with foods high in Vit C such as
orange juice
Higher iron intake is recommended since circulating blood volume is
increased and heme is required from production of RBCs

8.Assessment of Fetal Well-BeingA. Daily Fetal Movement Counting (DFMC) begin 27 weeks
Mom- begin after meal - breakfast
a. Cardiff count to 10 method one method currently available
(1) Begin at the same time each day (usually in the morning, after
breakfast) and count each fetal movement, noting how long it takes to count
10 fetal movements (FMs)
(2) Expected findings 10 movements in 1 hour or less
3) Warning signs
a.) more then 1 hour to reach 10 movements
b.) less then 10 movements in 12 hours(non-reactive- fetal distress)
c.) longer time to reach 10 FMs than on previous days
d.) movement are becoming weaker, less vigorous
Movement alarm signals - < 3 FMs in 12 hours
4.) warning signs should be reported to healthcare provider immediately;
often require further testing. Examples: nonstress test (NST), biographical
profile (BPP)
B. Nonstress test to determine the response of the fetal heart rate to
activity
Indication pregnancies at risk for placental insufficiency
Postmaturity
a.) pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), diabetes
b.) warning signs noted during DFMC
c.) maternal history of smoking, inadequate nutrition
Procedure:
Done within 30 minutes wherein the mother is in semi-fowlers position (w/
fetal monitor); external monitor is applied to document fetal activity; mother
activates the mark button on the electronic monitor when she feels fetal
movement.
Attach external noninvasive fetal monitors
1. tocotransducer over fundus to detect uterine contractions and fetal
movements (FMs)
2. ultrasound transducer over abdominal site where most distinct fetal
heart sounds are detected
3. monitor until at least 2 FMs are detected in 20 minutes
if no FM after 40 minutes provide woman with a light snack or
gently stimulate fetus through abdomen
if no FM after 1 hour further testing may be indicated, such as a
CST

b. 1 Theories of the Onset of Labor
1.) uterine stretch theory ( any hallow organ stretched, will always
contract & expel its content) contraction action
2.) oxytocin theory post pit gland releases oxytocin. Hypothalamus
produces oxytocin
3.) prostaglandin theory stimulation of arachidonic acid
prostaglandin- contraction

6. Bloody Show pinkish vaginal discharge blood & leukorrhea
7. Rupture of Membranes rupture of water. Check FHT
Premature Rupture of Membrane ( PROM) - do IE to check for cord
prolapse
Contraction drop in intensity even though very painful
Contraction drop in frequently
Uterus tense and/or contracting between contractions
Abdominal palpations
Nursing Care;
Administer Analgesics (Morphine)
Attempt manual rotation for ROP or LOP most common malposition
Bear down with contractions
Adequate hydration prepare for CS
Sedation as ordered
Cesarean delivery may be required, especially if fetal distress is noted
Cord Prolapse a complication when the umbilical cord falls or is washed
through the cervix into the vagina.
Danger signs:
PROM
Presenting part has not yet engaged
Fetal distress
Protruding cord form vagina
Nursing care:
1. Cover cord with sterile gauze with saline to prevent drying of cord so
cord will remain slippery & prevent cord compression causing cerebral
palsy.
2. Slip cord away from presenting part
3. Count pulsation of cord for FHT
4. Prep mom for CS

Monitoring the Contractions and Fetal heart Tone
Spread fingers lightly over fundus to monitor contractions
Parts of contractions:
Increment or crescendo beginning of contractions until it increases
Acme or apex height of contraction
Decrement or decrescendo from height of contractions until it
decreases
Duration beginning of contractions to end of same contraction
Interval end of 1 contraction to beginning of next contraction
Frequency beginning of 1 contraction to beginning of next contraction
Intensity - strength of contraction
Contraction vasoconstriction
Increase BP, decrease FHT
Best time to get BP & FHT just after a contraction or midway of
contractions
Placental reserve 60 sec o2 for fetus during contractions
Duration of contractions shouldnt >60 sec
Notify MD
Mom has headache check BP, if same BP, let mom rest. If BP increase ,
notify MD -preeclampsia
Health teachings
1.) Ok to shower
2.)NPO GIT stops function during labor if with food- will cause
aspiration
3.)Enema administer during labor
a.)To cleanse bowel
b.)Prevent infection
c.)Sims position/side lying
12 18 inch ht enema tubing
Check FHT after adm enema
Normal FHT= 120-160
Complications of Labor
Dystocia difficult labor related to:
Mechanical factor due to uterine inertia sluggishness of contraction
1.) hypertonic or primary uterine inertia
- intense excessive contractions resulting to ineffective pushing
- MD administer sedative valium,/diazepam muscle relaxant
2.) hypotonic secondary uterine inertia- slow irregular contraction
resulting to ineffective pushing. Give oxytocin.
Prolonged labor normal length of labor in primi 14 20 hrs
Multi 10 -14 hrs

3. Urinary tract:
Bladder freq in urination after delivery- urinary
retention with overflow
4. Colon:
Constipation due NPO, fear of bearing down
5. Perineal area painful episiotomy site sims pos, cold compress for
immediate pain after 24 hrs, hot sitz bath, not compress
sex- when perineum has healed
II. Provide Emotional Support Reva Rubia
Psychological Responses:
a. Taking in phase dependent phase (1st three days) mom passive,
cant make decisions, activity is to tell child birth experiences.
Nursing Care: - proper hygiene
b. Taking hold phase dependent to independent phase (4 to 7 days).
Mom is active, can make decisions
HT:
1.) Care of newborn
2.) Insert family planting method
common post partum blues/ baby blues present 4 5 days 50-80% moms
overwhelming feeling of depression characterized by crying,
despondence- inability to sleep & lack of appetite. let mom cry
therapeutic.
c. Letting go interdependent phase 7 days & above. Mom - redefines
new roles may extend until child grows.
III. Prevent complications
1. Hemorrhage bleeding of > 500cc
CS 600 800 cc normal
NSD 500 cc

1st degree laceration affects vaginal skin & mucus membrane.
2nd degree 1st degree + muscles of vagina
3rd degree 2nd degree + external sphincter of rectum
4th degree 3rd degree + mucus membrane of rectum
Breast feeding post pit gland will release oxytocin so uterus will
contract.
Well contracted uterus + bleeding = laceration
- assess perineum for laceration
- degree of laceration
- mgt episiorapy
DIC Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy. Hypofibrinogen- failure to
coagulate.

Nursing care:
Prepare D&C
Do not give oxytoxic drugs
Teachings:
a. Return for pelvic exams as scheduled for one year to monitoring
HCG and assess for enlarged uterus and rising titer could
indicative of choriocarcinoma
b. Avoid pregnancy for at least one year

2. Hypertensive Disorders
I. Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH)- HPN after 24 wks of
pregnancy, solved 6 weeks post partum.
1.) Gestational hypertension - HPN without edema & protenuria H
without EP
2.) Pre-eclampsia HPN with edema & protenuria or albuminuria HE P/A
3.) HELLP syndrome hemolysis with elevated liver enzymes & low
platelet count
II. Transissional Hypertension HPN between 20 24 weeks
III. Chronic or pre-existing Hypertension HPN before 20 weeks not solved 6
weeks post partum.
Three types of pre-eclampsia
1.) Mild preeclampsia earliest sign of preeclampsia
a.) increase wt due to edema
b.) BP 140/90
c.) protenuria +1 - +2
2.) Severe preeclampsia
Signs present: cerebral and visual disturbances, epigastric pain due to liver
edema and oliguria usually indicates an impending convulsion. BP 160/110 ,
protenuria +3 - +4
3.) Eclampsia with seizure! Increase BUN glomerular damage. Provide
safety.
Cause of preeclampsia
1.) idiopathic or unknown common in primi due to 1st exposure to
chorionic villi
2.) common in multiple pre (twins) increase exposure to chorionic villi
3.) common to mom with low socioeconomic status due to decrease intake
of CHON
Nursing care:
P romote bed rest to decrease O2 demand, facilitate, sodium
excretion, water immersion will cause to urinate.
P- prevent convulsions by nursing measures or seizure precaution
1.) dimly lit room . quiet calm environment
2.) minimal handling planning procedure
3.) avoid jarring bed
P- prepare the following at bedside
- tongue depressor
- turning to side done AFTER seizure! Observe only! for safely.
E ensure high protein intake ( 1g/kg/day)
- Na in moderation
A anti-hypertensive drug Hydralazine ( Apresoline)
C convulsion, prevent Mg So4 CNS depressant
E valuate physical parameters for Magnesium sulfate
Magnesium SO4 Toxicity:
1. BP decrease
2. Urine output decrease
3. Resp < 12
4. Patella reflex absent 1st sigh Mg SO4 toxicity. antidote Ca
gluconate
3.Diabetes Mellitus - absence of insufficient insulin (Islet of Langerhans of
pancreas)
Function: of insulin facilitates transport of glucose to cell
Dx: 1 hr 50gr glucose tolerance test GTT
Normal glucose 80 120 mg/dl
< 80 hypoclycemic
( euglycemia)
> 120 - hyperglycemia
3 degrees GTT of > 130 mg/dL
maternal effect DM
1.) Hypo or hyperglycemia 1st trimester hypo, 2nd 3rd trim
hyperglycemic
2.) Frequent infection- moniliasis
3.) Polyhydramnios
4.) Dystocia-difficult birth due to abnormalities in fetus or mom.
5.) Insulin requirement, decrease in insulin by 33% in 1st tri; 50%
increase insulin at 2nd 3rd trimester.
Post partum decrease 25% due placenta out.
Fetal effect
1.) hyper & hypoglycemia
2.) macrosomia large gestational age baby delivered > 400g or 4kg
3.) preterm birth to prevent stillbirth
Newborn Effect : DM
1.) hyperinsulinism
2.) hypoglycemia
normal glucose in newborn 45 55 mg/dL
hypoglycemic < 40 mg/dL
Heel stick test get blood at heel
Sx:
Hypoglycemia high pitch shrill cry tremors, administer dextrose
3.) hypocalcemia - < 7mg%
Sx:
Calcemia tetany
Trousseau sign
Give calcium gluconate if decrease calcium
Recommendation
Therapeutic abortion
If push through with pregnancy
1.) antibiotic therapy- to prevent sub acute bacterial endocarditis
2.) anticoagulant heparin doesnt cross placenta
Class I & II- good progress for vaginal delivery
Class III & IV- poor prognosis, for vaginal delivery, not CS!
NOT lithotomy! High semi-fowlers during delivery. No valsalva maneuver
Regional anesthesia!
Low forcep delivery due to inability to push. It will shorten 2nd stage of
labor.
Heart disease
Moms with RHD at childhood
Class I no limit to physical activity
Class II slight limitation of activity. Ordinary activity causes fatigue &
discomfort.
Recommendation of class I & II
1.) sleep 10 hrs a day
2.) rest 30 minutes & after meal
Class III - moderate limitation of physical activity. Ordinary activity causes
discomfort
Recommendation:
1.) early hospitalization by 7 months
Class IV. marked limitation of physical activity. Even at rest there is fatigue &
discomfort.
Recommendation: Therapeutic abortion

INFERTILITY - inability to achieve pregnancy. Within a year of
attempting it
- Manageable
STERILITY - irreversible
Impotency inability to have an erection
2 types of infertility
1.) primary no pregnancy at all
2.) Secondary 1st pregnancy, no more next preg
test male 1st
- more practical & less complicated
- need: sperm only
- sterile bottle container ( not plastic has chem.)
- Sims Huhner test or post coital test. Procedure: sex 2 hours before
test
mom remains supine 15 min after ejaculation
Normal: cervical mucus must be stretchable 8 10 cm with 15 20 sperm. If
>15 low sperm count
Best criteria- sperm motility for impotency
Factors: low sperm count
1.) occupation- truck driver
2.) chain smoker
administer: clomid ( chomephine citrate) to induce spermatogenesis

Wt doubles 6 months
3x
1yr
4x
2-2 yrs
2. Height- increase by 1/mo during 1st 6 months
- average increase in ht - 1st year = 50%
stoppage of ht coincide with eruption of wisdom tooth.
Development- increase skills or capability to function
- qualitative

4.
radiationbody to cold object not in contact with body
earliest sign of hypothermia- increase in RR
Effects of Hypothermia ( Cold stress)
1.) Hypoglycemia- 45-55 mg/dl normal
50- borderline
2.) met acidosis- catabolism of brown fats (best insulator of newborns
body)
will form ketones
3.) high risk for kernicterus- bilirubin in brain leading to cerebral palsy
4.) additional fatigue to allergy stressful heart
To Prevent Hypothermia
1. dry and wrap baby
2. mechanical pressure radiant warmer
i. pre-heated first isolette (or square acrylic sided incubator)
3. prevent an necessary exposure cover baby
4. cover baby with tin foil or plastic
5. embrace the baby- kangaroo care
A. Establish Adequate Nutritional Intake
CS- breastfeeding after 4 hours
NSD- breastfeeding asap
Physiology breast milk production
As you deliver baby, decrease Estrogen, decrease Progesterone- -Anterior
Posterior Gland (APG) releases prolactin acts on
acinar cells (or alveoli) produce foremilk
stored in lactiferous tubules ( or collecting
tubules)
where breast milk is produced alveoli post-pit.gland
Sucking- PPG oxytocin contraction of lactiferous tubules - milk ejection
reflex- let down reflex.
Advantages of Breastfeeding
1. Economical
2. Always available
3. Breastfed babies have higher IQ than bottle fed babies.
4. It facilitates rapid involution
5. Decrease incidence of breast cancer.
6. Has antibodies- IgA
7. Has lactobacillius bifidus- interferes with attack of pathogenic bacteria
in GIT
8. Has macrophages

RESEARCH
(Kerlinger) systematic, empirical, controlled & critical investigation of a
hypothetical proposition related to natural phenomenon.
PHENOMENON anything that affects human life
- disease, signs & symptoms, procedures, MD, RNs
HYPOTHESIS educated guess, scientific guess, tentative statement of a
supposed answer.
- not known yet if true of false, right or wrong
RESEARCH - must be conducted to affirm or deny a hypothesis.
4 major Characteristics of a Scientific Research
1. Systematic follow step by step process. Fr identification of problem to
conclusion.
2. Empirical proper objective. To collect data, facts & evidence to
support hypothesis.
3. Controlled proper planning/ direction. Research design.
4. Critical investigation fact finding investigation. (synonym)
PURPOSE OF ASIENTIFIC NURSING RESEARCH
D descriptive purpose. Gain richer familiarity regarding a
phenomena. Observation. 100% known to RN.
E exploratory purpose. 50% still unknown to RN.
E experimental purpose. Perform manipulation. Perform intervention.
What to find out cause & effect.

facts (single pt)
Survey
Case study
Non experimental
1.) Observe sample subject, Research has
2.) Massive participation
3.) Describe & record
4.) Natural setting where pop exists
Experimental:
1.) Active manipulation treatment or intervention done
2.) Active participation to sample pop
3.) Controlled setting lab research units
Types of non experimental res design.
1. Historical research design happened in the past
- collect written, published, circulated or archived
- pts chart
ex. Health practices during Crimean War
2. Expost Facto (after facts) (Retrospective)
- Antecedent facts happened
Study a group of people who have naturally experienced a
particular phenomena related to a problem & has something to
do with present study
- Interview only, no manipulation! Subject is related to present
problem.
3. Prospective focus; future time to look for a data existing subject
with future happening
Focus: weekend review in pentagon
Result: of board exam
this coming June
Present
future
4. Descriptive no intervention but merely observe & collect data.
Ex. Study on absentism in St Lukes
Study on environmental pollution in Quezon
Types:
a.) comparative study similarity & difference of variables
ex. Environmental pollution between variables
b.) Correlatonal relationship between variables
ex. Environmental pollution & increased TB cases
