P1: Explain the requirements for two different careers in the health sector. The job role of a midwife is to provide advice, care and support for women and their babies during pregnancy, labour and the early postnatal period. They help women make their own decisions about the care and services they access. Their responsibilities are wide ranging and include; caring for new-born children, providing health education and parenting support immediately after delivery, until care is transferred to a health visitor. Midwives are personally responsible for the health of both mother and baby and only refer to obstetricians if there are medical complications.
It is also important to gain as much knowledge as needed about anatomy and physiology in the job. Working as a midwife you'll need to have an in-depth understanding of fetal and child development. The majority of pregnancies and births are normal and increasing numbers of women are opting for natural and home births with the minimum of medical intervention. However, midwives need to recognise when the mother or her baby is at risk and know when to intervene to promote their health and
The embryo will remain one until the eighth week of pregnancy, when it becomes a fetus. During the First Trimester the placenta and umbilical cord develop. These together bring nutrients to the fetus, and also removes waste from the fetus. The Placenta also releases the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Hormone (HCG), HCG helps to maintain pregnancy and it affects the development of the baby. The Amniotic Sac also develops, which is a fluid-filled membrane that supports the developing fetus.
Level 1 comprises those who take care of healthy infants, while those in Level 2 care for ill or premature newborns. Neonatal nurses responsible for treating severely ill babies work at Level 3. They work in the intensive care unit and look after infants in incubators or on ventilators. Another important part of working as a neonatal nurse is communication, interacting with parents. Neonatal nurses need to understand the concerns of the parents and keep them well informed of their child’s condition.
Screening is a common practice that has been widely adopted to curb the rate of cancer and preventable diseases. Screening refers to medical approach used to detect disease in individuals early when signs and symptoms are not present. The purpose of this paper is to identify the shortfalls of the Every Woman Matters program and define necessary strategies to implement change. Every Woman Matters Every Woman Matters is solely a federally sponsored program that is controlled by the State of Nebraska to help low- income women to gain access to health care through screening. EWM offers breast exams, mammograms, pelvic exam a pap smears, along with diabetes and cholesterol testing.
Professional Roles and Values Teresa McDonald Western Governors University Professional Roles and Values As a nurse after arriving to the hospital and receiving my assignment for the day in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) my duty is to provide safe, compassionate, and ethical care to all my patients. A. Functional Differences The Tennessee State Board of Nursing (BON) interprets the laws and rules that I am required to follow to obtain and maintain licensure. They are responsible for writing the state Nurse Practice Act (NPA), which I am required to follow. It protects the public and holds me responsible for my actions. The Tennessee State Board of Nursing has the control to suspend or revoke my license for improper
1. In this particular scenario regarding the expectant mother and her particular situation, I am in support of the “Social Justice”, and I say this because in this particular situation it does happen in real life and on a daily basis. I feel that in this situation the lady can go ahead and have her baby at the hospital, and then apply for Medicaid after she is released from the hospital, due to the fact that when you apply for Medicaid, on the actual application it does ask if you have or had any unpaid medical bills within the last three to six months, and she should answer yes. Once she starts receiving Medicaid, and the actual hospital bill does come, she will then need to fill out her Medicaid information and any other pertinent information that the form asks for and send it back in to the hospital, and the hospital should bill Medicaid from that point on. Another reason why I am supporting “Social Justice” is because I feel that no hospital has the right to refuse admittance or service to anyone who does not have insurance or who are not able to pay upon arrival and in need of medical attention.
Review the Nurse Practice Act for Nebraska + Florida Katherine Oliveras ITT Technical Institute NU100 M1 April 10, 2012 Most states in the U.S ask the same things from a Registered Nurse. Nebraska and Florida both have very similar nursing views and it wouldn’t be much of an issue to be an RN there. According to Nebraska, a registered nurse who has completed training for wither a nurse specialist, nurse anesthetist, nurse-midwife or a nurse practitioner is called an advanced practice nurse. They can manage common health problems, conditions and can prescribe medications. Florida views the advanced practice nurse the same as Nebraska.
The experience of pregnancy and the feeling of postpartum life are unique for every woman. The culture is showing that becoming a mother of a baby is the happiest time in a woman’s life. Every woman should know and understand what is prenatal mental health. The society should provide the support and information to all the pregnant women. “Women were afraid of two things: to die during childbirth and that something should happen to the baby during childbirth.
From a clinical point of view, informative, brief communications throughout antenatal care on each examination should be provided to all pregnant women, couples should be reevaluated and supported after delivery via postpartum counselling.

The addition of individualized postpartum counselling to antenatally educated women increased modern contraceptive use. Competing interests The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
