Diagnosing of a stillbirth happens when the mother feels decreased movement or other symptoms and goes to the doctor.The time of the diagnosis depends usually on the mother, because if she becomes worried of her baby and goes to check it. When the mother comes to the doctor the doctors can do an ultrasound, Non-Stress test (NST) or CTG to the mother to check the baby.

This article will review risk factors for shoulder dystocia and nursing strategies for managing it. Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) Credit A total of 2 contact hours may be earned as CNE credit for reading “An Overview of Shoulder Dystocia: The Nurse’s Role” and for completing an online post-test and evaluation. To take the test and complete the evaluation, please visit http://JournalsCNE.awhonn.org. Certificates of completion will be issued on receipt of the completed evaluation form, application and processing fees.
Clinical Research/Evidence-based Practice Clinical Assignment As clinical rotations began at Summit Alta Bates in Oakland, there were a few aspects of the nursing practice that caught my attention. The main one were the unused non-sterile gloves found in each patient’s room. In nursing school, students are taught to wear gloves to protect from spreading pathogens. Nurses should use gloves to prevent coming in contact with any bodily fluids or mucous membranes since these are potential locations for pathogens or entry of pathogens. Examples are; when discarding urine into the toilet after calculating in/outs, during oral care, or when dealing with open wounds or dressing changes.
2. If a mother is scheduled for a Caesarean- section birth, how would this flowchart change? If the mother is scheduled that means she is already registered, and the hospital know that the baby is going to be birthed that day. So the expecting mother would be taken to the operating room, baby would be delivered, they would go to the mother-child recovery room, then discharged. The mother would go from step 2 to step 6, then to step 8.
The Advantages and Disadvantages of Breastfeeding to Bottle Feeding Bringing a newborn into the world is one of the greatest and important experiences in a mother’s life. Those many months of waiting, planning, and imagining are not over yet, yet, they’ve just begun. The future will need more planning and more decision making on what's best for the baby and to help your new born get off to a great start in life. Therefore, the nutrition your baby receives from you while you are pregnant and from giving birth gives the new born the start in life that's needed to grow and to develop through childhood into adulthood. A mother will have to decide whether a newborn baby is breast-fed naturally or bottle-fed with formula.
NoThing Left Behind is “a national surgical patient safety effort to prevent retained surgical items left in patents” (Harrison Medical Center). This process helps to eliminate the human error when counting and recounting medical sponges by providing three ways to account for surgical objects. The first involves using sponges that can be detected with an x-ray, and the nurses are required to complete a sponge count to verify how many sponges are being used in the procedure. The second option does not require any technology. Instead, nurses use hanging sponge holders, similar to that of over the door shoe holders, as well as a white board to count what kind and how many surgical sponges are removed as the surgery comes to an end.
DANGER SIGNS DURING THE POST PARTUM PERIOD Maternity Nursing The actual birth of the child can appear to be the endpoint, or “exhale moment” in the childbirth experience, many other contributing factors play a role both the physical and mental well being of the new mother. The post partum time is one with many changes, both physiologic and psychological. While it is easy to be caught up in the new mom’s accomplishment, there are signs and symptoms to be cautious of that could point to a deviation from the norm. Some of the complications following birth are mastitis, metritis, post partum depression, post partum hemorrhage, subinvolution, thrombophlebitis, uterine atony and uterine inversion. Mastitis, an inflammation of the breast or breasts, is a common problem which happens usually within the first two weeks postpartum.
Midwives often work on their own and must be extremely competent at what they do. They are responsible for the woman and her unborn child and therefore must be able to identify high risk pregnancies and know when to make referrals to other medical specialists. They provide advice and guidance on all aspects of pregnancy and birth and this will allow the parents to make informed decisions on where to have the birth, whether/why/how to breastfeed, healthy choices during pregnancy, what tests are available and pain relief during childbirth to name but a few. Ultimately any decision lies with the parents and the midwife should always respect this. Midwives are also on hand to help with birth plans, these convey the mother’s
How to Change a Baby’s Diaper Changing a baby’s diaper can be easy with all the right materials close by. First you will need to get a clean diaper, wipes, diaper cream, diaper changing mat, gloves, and a small plastic bag. Secondly, you will need to get the child and lay that child down on the changing mat, pull down the child’s pants and undo the diaper tabs on the front of the diaper. After you have finished that task, you will take the wipes and wipe down the area with the wipes until clean. Then, take the clean diaper and lift the child’s bottom up to put the back of the diaper underneath and between the child’s legs to cover the child’s private areas.
