Breastfeeding
For this issue, The nurse will encourage frequent feeding, warm compresses, warm shower, massage, or hand expression
engorgement
This condition is typically preceded by HA, Severe Epigastric Pain, hyperreflexia and manifests with the onset of seizure activity or coma.
eclampsia
This childbearing aged client should not take this if they smoke or are over the age of 35 if they want to avoid death or permanent disability
hormonal contraceptives
The client is taught to do this to prevent the spread of STIs while receiving treatment for an active infection.
abstain
This condition has the following risk factors associated with it: geriatric pregnancy, family history, genetic translocation
Down syndrome
For this condition, the client needs antibiotics, pain management, frequent feeding/pumping, proper latch, breast care (nipples clean and dry)
mastitis
This is the single most important indicator of labor progress.
What is cervical dilation?
Rationale: Cervical dilation is the key clinical measurement used to assess labor progression. Effacement and station are supportive but less definitive.
Prenatal exposure to this commonly used recreational drug is strongly associated with low birth weight, placental abruption, and preterm labor.
cocaine
Rationale: Cocaine causes vasoconstriction, reducing uteroplacental blood flow, increasing risk of abruption, fetal hypoxia, and growth restriction.
This chromosomal condition occurs in females and is characterized by the presence of only one X chromosome, leading to short stature and infertility.
What is Turner syndrome?
Rationale: Turner syndrome (45,X) affects females, causing ovarian failure, short stature, and certain physical features, but is not typically inherited.
This bacterial STI is often asymptomatic in women but can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy if untreated.
Answer (Jeopardy-style):
What is Chlamydia?
Rationale: Chlamydia is common and frequently silent in women. Untreated infection can ascend to the upper genital tract, causing serious reproductive complications.
For this, the nurse will teach the proper position/latch technique, encourage skin to skin, encourage frequent feedings, nipple care, breast pumping
difficulty latching during breastfeeding
This procedure involves rupturing the amniotic sac artificially to stimulate or speed up labor.
What is amniotomy?
Rationale: Amniotomy can help augment labor by releasing prostaglandins and allowing better fetal head contact with the cervix, often shortening labor by a few hours.
This legal substance, when used during pregnancy, is associated with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, including facial abnormalities, cognitive deficits, and behavioral problems.
Answer (Jeopardy-style):
What is alcohol?
Rationale: There is no safe amount of alcohol in pregnancy; prenatal exposure can permanently affect brain development and cause lifelong disabilities.
This chromosomal disorder occurs in males who have an extra X chromosome, often leading to small testes, low testosterone, and infertility.
Answer (Jeopardy-style):
What is Klinefelter syndrome?
Rationale: Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) causes hypogonadism, reduced fertility, and sometimes learning difficulties. Early diagnosis can allow hormone therapy.
This viral STI causes painful genital lesions, is lifelong, and can be transmitted even when lesions are not present.
What is herpes simplex virus (HSV)?
Rationale: HSV-1 and HSV-2 cause genital herpes. Antiviral therapy reduces outbreaks and viral shedding but does not cure the infection.
This hormone, released during breastfeeding, stimulates the milk ejection reflex, often called the “let-down” reflex.
What is oxytocin?
This type of delivery occurs in less than 3 hours from the onset of regular contractions to birth.
What is a precipitous delivery?
Rationale: Precipitous labor is rapid, often <3 hours, and increases the risk of maternal and fetal trauma.
Doing a vaginal exam, checking dilation, or engaging in sexual intercourse is prohibited if this condition is known or suspected.
what is placenta previa
This type of inheritance pattern means that only one copy of a mutated gene is needed for a person to express the trait or disorder.
Answer (Jeopardy-style):
What is autosomal dominant?
Rationale: Autosomal dominant disorders (e.g., Huntington’s disease) require only one mutated allele to manifest, while autosomal recessive disorders require two.
This STI is caused by a spirochete bacterium, progresses in stages if untreated, and can lead to neurological and cardiovascular complications.
What is syphilis?
Rationale: Syphilis has primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary stages. Early detection with serologic tests is critical to prevent severe outcomes.
The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for this duration of an infant’s life before introducing complementary foods.
What is 6 months?
This bloody discharge may appear at the beginning of labor as the cervix begins to dilate and efface.
Answer (Jeopardy-style):
What is bloody show?
Rationale: Bloody show is a mixture of mucus and blood from cervical capillaries, signaling impending or early labor.
This is the capacity of a substance to cause birth defects or abnormalities in a developing fetus. These types of agents interfere with normal fetal development, leading to congenital malformations or disabilities
What is Teratogenic?
This genetic test involves sampling cells from the placenta to detect chromosomal abnormalities early in pregnancy.
Answer (Jeopardy-style):
What is chorionic villus sampling (CVS)?
Rationale: CVS is usually performed between 10–13 weeks gestation to detect genetic or chromosomal disorders, providing earlier results than amniocentesis.
This STI is caused by a protozoan parasite and often presents with frothy, malodorous vaginal discharge, itching, and dysuria.
What is trichomoniasis?
Rationale: Trichomoniasis is treated with oral metronidazole or tinidazole. Untreated infection can increase susceptibility to HIV and cause adverse pregnancy outcomes
