which screening is a prenatal blood test done during 15-22 weeks pregnancy to assess the risk of certain birth defects in the developing baby.
It measures the levels of four substances in the mother’s blood: and helps identify an increased risk for:
down syndrome
Edwards syndrome
Neural tube defects - spina bifida
MSAFP “Quad screen”
which screening is used to assess the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities in the developing baby such as:
down syndrome
patau syndrome
Edwards syndrome
problems with # of sex chromosomes
Noninvasive prenatal test (NIPT) or cell free DNA
after delivery does maternal insulin requirements i/d
why is breastfeeding encouraged in DM moms
decrease
glucose leaves body through breast milk
what prophylactic med do we give a mother who is Rh- carrying a Rh+ fetus?
what scenario would we give this med?
28 weeks T/F
before/after spontaneous or induced abortion of ectopic preg
before/after invasive procedure during preg
before/after maternal trauma
Rh immune globulin IM (Rhogam)
the blood types of the mother and baby are incompatible is called ___________________
ABO incompatibility
no change vs increase intake during pregnancy?
increase
no change - sodium
increase
increase
increase
no change - iodine
increase - 400 mcg before, 1 mg during
which type of HTN
patient D:
25 weeks
yes proteinuria
sudden increase in well controlled chronic HTN
Patient has 2 readings of high BP at least 4 hours apart
Systolic 140+
Diastolic 90+
Think what gestation is patient?
Is proteinuria involved?
Chronic HTN w/ superimposed preeclampsia
Chronic HTN - Before 20 weeks, No
Gestation HTN - After 20 weeks, No
Preeclampsia - After 20 weeks, Yes
Chronic HTN w/ superimposed preeclampsia - After 20 weeks,
Sudden increase in well controlled chronic HTN, Yes
patient A is being screened for gestational DM with 1 hour GTT
does she need to fast?
her glucose came back at 150. Did she pass or fail?
what should the nurse tell the mom that is 37 weeks that called c/o contractions/cramping?
think preterm or term, frequency and other associated signs
could be labor!
- Counsel to go to hospital when contractions are 5 mins apart, getting stronger every hour, or if water breaks
if contractions/cramping is:
- Associated with heavy vaginal bleeding (more than spotting/bloody show)
- Change in fetal movement
common discomforts - round ligament pain
cause -
when to be concerned -
teaching -
what should the nurse tell the mom that is 20 weeks that called c/o contractions/cramping?
think preterm or term, frequency, cause, and other associated signs
less then 37 weeks = preterm
preterm if contraction/cramping is:
- Rare/occasional
- Associated with cause like increased activity
- associated with Normal fetal movement, no vaginal bleeding/leaking of fluid
OK
preterm if contraction/cramping is:
- Regular (>4-6/hour)
- associated with no cause
- associated with Change in fetal movement, vaginal bleeding, or leaking of fluid
NOT OK
10 weeks gestation patient presents with
- Uni-lateral abdominal pain
- Dizzy
- Vaginal bleeding
what should the nurse suspect?
threatened abortion
ectopic pregnancy
molar pregnancy
ectopic pregnancy
Uni-lateral abdominal pain = big giveaway
iron deficiency vs sickle cell vs folic acid anemia?
Treatment – prevent crisis, IV fluids, O2, abx, folic acid, analgesics
Treatment – folic acid 400 mcg before pregnancy, 1 mg during pregnancy
Treatment – supplemental iron
sickle cell
folic acid
iron deficiency
which test measures
- fetal breathing movements
- gross body movements
- fetal tone
- amniotic fluid volume
BPP
how do we screen for gestational DM
1 hour glucose tolerance test
3 hour GTT
which stress test evaluates oxygenation and carbon dioxide exchange of the placenta
contraction stress test
what is the desired score on a contraction stress test - negative or positive?
which technique assesses fetal well-being by using high frequency sound waves to deflect off tissues in the uterus to a transducer showing structures
Abdominal Ultrasound
common discomforts - SOA
cause -
when to be concerned -
teaching -
ABO incompatibility
Maternal serum antibodies against ___ and ___ are present
hemolysis of fetal RBC leads to hypobilirubinemia/hyperbilirubinemia
will an indirect/direct combs test be conducted?
would we expect mild/severe anemia to occur?
Maternal serum antibodies against A and B are present
hyperbilirubinemia
Cord blood – (direct combs test) – Done on cord/infant blood, Detects if maternal antibodies are adhered to infants RBC
Mild anemia may occur, severe anemia doesn’t generally occur
Gestational trophoblastic disease:
type - ___________________-
abnormal development occurs in the fertilized egg, not a viable pregnancy
Molar pregnancy (hydatidiform mole)
partial molar pregnancy vs complete molar pregnancy
(abnormal ovum + normal sperm)
(normal ovum + abnormal sperm)
when should mom seek care if she thinks fetus is moving less or not at all?
Go to HCP if <10 movements in 2 hours
advanced maternal age =
medical risks associated with AMA
i/d miscarriage
i/d GDM and GHTN
i/d placenta previa
i/d difficult labor
i/d c-section
i/d multiple births
i/d down syndrome
i/d infertility
