CNM: The Delivery Of Prenatal Care

A labor and delivery nurse is a nurse who cares for woman and newborns during antepartum, intraparetum, postpartum, and neonatal stages of birth. These nurses take vital signs to make sure the mother and her newborn are healthy.

Giving birth to a baby is the most amazing and miraculous experiences for parents and their loved ones. Every woman’s birth story is different and full of joy. Furthermore, the process from the moment a woman knows that she’s pregnant to being in the delivering room is very critical to both her and the newborn baby. Prenatal care is extremely important and it can impact greatly the quality of life of the baby. In this paper, the topic of giving birth will be discussed thoroughly by describing the stories of two mothers who gave birth in different decades and see how their prenatal cares are different from each other with correlation of the advancement of modern medicine between four decades.

Providing an effective care and support to the patient and for their babies during labour

Once the patients arrive to the unit, if the person belongs to either scheduled induction or C-Section, they are provided with a delivery room. If the patient does not belong to previously mentioned categories, and about to deliver, she is moved to a delivery room. One final category is, where patients come in because they feel that they are about to be in labor or the patients that experience various pregnancy related complications. These patients are monitored by the nurse, seen by the physician and put under observation. If any of those observation patients are about to go into labor, they will be moved to delivery room. The rest of the patients will be treated and discharged. A quick registration will be done for all patients as soon as they enter the unit. Additional documentation for triaged patients will be done after they are moved to triage. For patients in labor or C-Section, it will be done earliest of patient’s

Childbirth is one of the greatest privileges on the earth anyone could have and we, as women, should feel proud to be major contributors for it. Thus, a mother has to play a key role in aiding the healthcare workers to mitigate the health crisis associated with childbirth by performing her duties faithfully. One such associated health crisis is “Premature (preterm) birth” which occurs when the baby is born too early, before 37 weeks of gestational period (CDC, 2015). The rate of preterm birth ranges from 5% to 18% of babies born across 184 countries (WHO, 2015).

NICU Nurses are responsible for care of infants who may be diagnosed with diseases, delivery complications and, the one we see most, prematurity. They develop nursing care plans and assess, plan, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments in these plans. On

In order to increase patient knowledge and satisfaction, this education needs to be meaningful to them as well as easy for them to access at any time they chose.

The prenatal population can vary greatly in age, literacy level, and learning styles that it is the clinics responsibility to ensure their learning needs are met. Because of the advances in technology and the needs of the patients changing this clinic needs to grow and evolve as

Neonatal nurse practitioners practice advanced skills in order to provide care for healthy newborns, as well as newborns who need individualized attention.

A 21 year old woman, who was 20 weeks pregnant, was brought into the emergency department after being found unconscious and without a pulse for an unknown time after an apparent heroin overdose. Emergency medical services secured her airway with an endotracheal tube and initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation, resulting in return of spontaneous circulation. The patient was stabilized and admitted to an intensive care unit for treatment. Multiple neurological assessments, an electroencephalogram and magnetic resonance imaging were performed.

Prenatal care is widely accepted as an important element in improving pregnancy outcome. (Gorrie, McKinney, Murray, 1998). Prenatal care is defined as care of a pregnant woman during the time in the maternity cycle that begins with conception and ends with the onset of labor. A medical, surgical, gynecologic, obstretic, social and family history is taken (Mosby's Medical, Nursing, and Allied Health Dictionary, 1998). It is important for a pregnant woman as well as our society to know that everything that you do has an effect on your baby.
