COURSE CONTENT
Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to:
1. Apply concepts from prerequisites to the maternal child specialty.
2. Correlate the normal physiologic processes to the identification of
abnormal signs and symptoms in the hypothetical scenarios of each of
the stages of the perinatal period.
3. Describe benefits of prenatal care and identify vital factors and
nursing interventions related to potential and actual problems.
4. Articulate the stages, symptoms and common nursing interventions for
each of the phases of labor/delivery process.
5. Describe potential complications of the prenatal and intrapartal period
and identify nursing interventions and nursing diagnosis that would be
appropriate, given a hypothetical clinical scenario.
6. Articulate normal and deviations of normal assessment of the newborn
(i.e. reflexes, blood sugars, Apgar scores, head-to-toe assessment).
7. Identify safety measures important to the care of the new mother and
her newborn (i.e. identification bands, aseptic techniques, and special
isolation precautions).
8. Articulate common drugs, side effects and uses for the obstetric and
the pediatric client.
9. Participate in planning patient teaching guides for hypothetical
scenarios (i.e. breastfeeding, bathing of infant, bulb suction,
circumcision care, care of the umbilical cord, postpartum care of a
variety of situations).
10. Formulate hypothetical care plans for a variety of situations in the
care of the hospitalized (related to developmental phases).
11. Articulate the phases of growth and development using Erickson's
theory as a guide for the stages from infancy through adolescence.
12. Plan teaching guides for children and parents related to the phases of
development (including nutrition, safety and play needs for each stage
of development).
13. Articulate health maintenance guide for norms of immunization and
physical exam requirements through childhood.
Topics and Scope
Untitled document
1. Reproductive & physiologic processes of normal perinatal period.
a. Prenatal care including signs & symptoms, common discomforts and
interventions.
b. Labor & delivery: including role of the vocational nurse (VN),
stages of labor and common interventions and care of the labor
patient (including monitoring, common abnormalities of the birth
process and interventions (i.e. bleeding, diabetes, preterm labor
pregnancy induced hypertension and the use of analgesia/anesthesia).
c. Postpartum period: including normal phases and bodily changes and
common interventions for normal and abnormal problems (i.e. bleeding
infection, eclampsia, diabetic mothers).
d. Newborns: including immediate assessment after delivery and normal
growth and development phases from intrauterine life through neonatal
period. Apgar scores and basic safety issues, nutrition and patient
teaching for new parents are reviewed.
e. Special needs of newborns requiring intensive care and supportive
care to parents (genetic defects, teratogenic effects, problems with
infection, gestational age, drug abuse, to name a few).
f. Care of emergency and scheduled cesarean section with common
problems and interventions postop.
2. Normal growth and development process:
a. Fetal development from conception to birth.
b. Infant and toddler period
c. Preschool through school-aged child.
d. Pre-adolescence through adolescent phases of life.
3. Common concerns and interventions related to phases of development for:
a. Safety issues (i.e. prevention of accidents and poisoning)
b. Nutrition issues (breastfeeding vs bottlefeeding, special needs of
toddler, school aged, and adolescent children including deficits).
c. The meaning of play and needs for each phase of development.
d. Parenting concerns and issues for each phase of development.
e. Child abuse issues and nursing interventions.
f. Erickson's theory of growth and development throughout each phase.
4. Pharmacologic interventions are integrated throughout the theory for
each phase of development.
Assignments:
Untitled document
1. Reading assignments: approximately 35-50 pages per week.
2. Case and teaching plans: approximately 1 scenario per week.
