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.
Inherited gene mutation The physician recommends that you have your daughter vaccinated with HPV vaccine. What is this vaccine for? Help prevent cervical cancer A client received chemotherapy 24 hours ago. Which precautions are necessary when caring for the client? Wear personal protective equipment when handling blood, body fluids, and feces To combat the most common adverse effects of chemotherapy, a nurse should administer an antiemetic A patient is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for prostate cancer and has lost considerable weight due to nausea and vomiting.
She was rostered off work and given varicella zoster specific immunoglobulin by her obstetrician. A few days later she developed chickenpox. She subsequently gave birth to a normal infant weighing 3050 g. a) Why was the immunoglobulin injection not effective in preventing chickenpox in this case? The nurse's daughter had already presented with symptoms (skin lesions) for too long prior to her notification for the varicella zoster specific immunoglobulin to be of effect, as it should be administered within 96 hours of contact with the infection (South Australian Perinatal Practice Guidelines Workgroup 2010). After the first trimester of pregnancy the risk of congenital deformation drops to 2% (McCrary, ML, Severson, J, Tyring, SK 1999).
After the egg has been fertilised by one single sperm, no more sperm can enter and the egg becomes a Zygote. The Zygote travels through the fallopian tubes in to the womb where it attaches itself to the lining of the womb and begins to grow. This is at about 6-10 days after the woman’s egg is released. (nhs.uk) accessed 18.11.2013 Between 6-10 days and 8 weeks, the Zygote is called an Embryo, The sac that forms around the baby (amniotic) is filled with fluid which protects the baby like a cushion incase mum has ay falls or bumps. The placenta starts growing, this is full of blood vessels that take food and oxygen to the baby and takes away any waste produce throught the umbilical cord.
Following an intensive screening and selection process the donor endures a few weeks of invasive medical procedures. First the donor and the woman who will carry the child must coordinate their menstrual cycles. Typically the donor and the recipient take birth-control pills, followed by shots of a synthetic hormone such as Lupron; the combination suppresses ovulation and puts their cycles in sync. After altering her cycle the donor must enhance her egg supply with fertility drugs in the same way an infertile woman does when trying to conceive. Shots of a fertility hormone are administered for seven to eleven days, to stimulate the production of an abnormally large number of egg-containing follicles.
* A fertilised zygote develops into a blastocyst that secretes human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) * hCG maintains the corpus luteum post-ovulation so that the blastocyst can remain embedded in the endometrium and continue to develop * Gradually the placenta develops and produces progesterone (at around 8 - 10 weeks), at which point the corpus luteum is no longer needed Role of hCG in Early Pregnancy 11.4.11 Outline early embryo development up to the implantation of the blastocyst * After fertilisation, the zygote undergoes several mitotic divisions to create a solid ball of cells called a morula (at around 4 days) * Unequal divisions beyond this stage cause a fluid-filled cavity to form in the middle - this makes a blastocyst (at around 5 days) * The blastocyst consists of: * An inner mass of cells (this will develop into the embryo) * An outer layer called the trophoblast (this will develop into the placenta) * A fluid filled cavity (called the blastocoele) * These developments all occur as the developing embryo is moving from the oviduct to the uterus * When the blastocyst reaches the uterus, it will embed in the endometrium

Also "chronic villus sampling", this involvs a sample of tissue (a biopsy) taken from the placenta and tested. The effectiveness of these tests would let an individuall decide if they wantedto continue with the pregnancy or have a termination. If a person did decide to continue with the pregnancy it would give them enough time to prepare themselves for the birth of a child with health problems
If incarcerate pregnant women are need of medically necessary, specialized care that is not available at the correctional facility, access should be granted of such care at a subsidiary medical facility with suitable expertise. Along with proper care, prenatal classes instructed by medical personnel outlining nutritional needs, ways to maintain a healthy pregnancy while incarcerated, and childbirth should be made available on a weekly basis to inmates. Prompt screening of substance abuse of any incarcerated pregnant woman is extremely important to the health of both the mother and the fetus. “Identification of pregnant women who are addicted to opioids facilitates provision of
