COURSE OF CONFINEMENT

The patient was confined at February 15, 2010 with the chief complaint of labor pain and vaginal discharge. She was transported to the OB ward via wheelchair. The patient had series of laboratory exams such as CBC, ultrasound, Plasma/ Serum Test, biometry. As of present the patient is taking Methyldopa, Paracetamol, Catapres and hydralazine. The patient is also under O2 therapy at 2Lpm and an ongoing Plain NSS IVF at 15 gtts/min.

Drug Index

Generic name ParacetamolBrand name Biogesic

Drug classification Antipyretic; analgesic (non-opiod)

MOA: Inhibits prostaglandin

Indications: Relief of fever, minor aches & pains.

Contraindications: Anemia, cardiac & pulmonary disease. Hepatic or severe renal disease.

Adverse effect: Allergic skin reactions & GI disturbances.

Nursing Considerations >Check for allergic reactions>monitor the patient for any adverse effect

Generic name MethydopaBrand name Aldomet

Drug classification Antihypertensive

MOA: Aldomet (methyldopa) is an effective antihypertensive agent that reduces both supine and standing blood pressure. Symptomatic postural hypotension, exercise hypotension and diurnal blood pressure variations rarely occur. By adjustment of dosage, morning hypotension can be prevented without sacrificing control of afternoon blood pressure.Methyldopa has no direct effect on cardiac function and usually does not reduce glomerular filtration rate, renal blood flow or filtration fraction. Cardiac output usually is maintained without cardiac acceleration. In some patients, the heart rate is slowed.Because of relative freedom from adverse effects on kidney function,methyldopa can be of benefit in the control of high blood pressure, even in the presence of renal impairment. It

Page 5: Nursing Care Plan_ob Ward

may help arrest or retard the progression of renal function impairment and damage due to sustained elevation of blood pressure.Normal or elevated plasma renin activity may decrease in the course ofmethyldopa therapy.The ability to inhibit dopa decarboxylase and to deplete animal tissues of norepinephrine resides solely in the L-isomer (methyldopa). In man, the antihypertensive activity appears to be due solely to the L-isomer.

Indications: Hypertension (mild, moderate or severe)

Contraindications: Patients with active hepatic disease eg, acute hepatitis and active cirrhosis; with hypersensitivity (including hepatic disorders associated with previousmethyldopa therapy) to any component of Aldomet (see Precautions); on therapy with monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors.

Adverse effect: Sedation, usually transient, may occur during the initial period of therapy or whenever the dose is increased. Headache, asthenia or weakness may be noted as early and transient symptoms.Significant side effects due to Aldomet have been infrequent and this agent usually is well tolerated.The following reactions have been reported:Central Nervous System: Sedation (usually transient), headache, asthenia or weakness, paresthesias, parkinsonism, Bell's palsy, involuntary choreoathetotic movements. Psychic disturbances including nightmares, impaired mental acuity and reversible mild psychoses or depression. Dizziness, lightheadedness and symptoms of cerebrovascular insufficiency (may be due to lowering of blood pressure).Cardiovascular: Bradycardia, prolonged carotid sinus hypersensitivity, aggravation of angina pectoris. Orthostatic hypotension (decrease daily dosage). Edema (and weight gain) usually relieved by use of a diuretic. (Discontinue methyldopa if edema progresses or signs of heart failure appear.)

Page 6: Nursing Care Plan_ob Ward

Gastrointestinal: Nausea, vomiting, distention, constipation, flatus, diarrhea, colitis, mild dryness of mouth, sore or "black" tongue, pancreatitis, sialoadenitis.Hepatic: Liver disorders including hepatitis, jaundice, abnormal liver function tests.Hematologic: Positive Coombs' test, hemolytic anemia, bone marrow depression, leukopenia, granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia. Positive tests for antinuclear antibody, LE cells and rheumatoid factor.Allergic: Drug-related fever and lupus-like syndrome, myocarditis, pericarditis.Dermatologic: Rash, as in eczema or lichenoid eruption, toxic epidermal necrolysis.Others: Nasal stuffiness, rise in BUN, breast enlargement, gynecomastia, lactation, hyperprolactinemia, amenorrhea, impotence, decreased libido, mild arthralgia, with or without joint swelling, myalgia.

4. Gordon’s Functional Patterns

Health Perception- Health Management Pattern

The patient describes her condition as mild contractions with blood streaked vaginal bleeding. She was brought to the hospital via stretcher due to these complaints. The patient has no known drug and food allergies. The patient walks for at least 20 minutes as a form of exercise. She was observed to have normal capillary refill, no skin lesions with anasarca. She takes a bath everyday and do hand washing before and after eating as healthy measures to prevent acquiring diseases. The family view health as something important for survival.

Being admitted in the hospital, the client has a restricted activity because of the IVF connected to her but still a light body stretching is done every day as an exercise.

Nutritional- Metabolic Pattern

The patient has a good appetite and is not choosy when it comes to food. The patient said that both her mother and father decides for the family. She has no known food allergies. At present she has a problem in her nutritional intake due to nasal cannula and ongoing IV. But, still to ensure that she is able to manage her condition.

Elimination Pattern

Page 10: Nursing Care Plan_ob Ward

The patient has no problem in urinating and elimination. The patient urinates 5-7 times a day and defecates once a day. Urine is characterized to have a pale yellow in color and aromatic. The stool is described as formed. There were no diarrhea and constipation.

Activity- Exercise pattern

On her musculoskeletal system, there is no any muscular atrophy observed. Her activities include walking and doing stretching. Her usual activity is reading books and assisting her mother with their household chores.

Sleep- Rest Pattern

The patient reported that duration of her sleep/rest is around 6 to 7 hours and wakes up at 6 in the morning.. At daytime she takes nap of 2-3 hours.

Being in the hospital, her sleeping pattern is disturbed due to monitoring of vital signs and taking in her due medicines. Even if like this, the patient ensures that she will be well rested by taking a nap in the daytime. Reading the Bible is a bed ritual for her to fall asleep.

Cognitive- Perceptual Pattern

The patient is assessed to be alert with pleasant mood. Pupils are equally round and reactive to light and accommodation.

Self Perception Self-concept Pattern

The patient is observed to have a good grooming, good body posture and normal body movements.

Role- Relationship Pattern

The patient lives with her parents. She is the fourth child among 5 siblings.

Sexuality Reproductive

The patient is a female, 23 years old with one partner and last known sexual contact was at the month of September year 2009 .

Coping- Stress Tolerance Pattern

Being in an unfamiliar environment and from the case of the client, these serves as stressor for her. The patient’s response to these are being sleep deprived. For the mother and significant others, they provide support, comfort and security to the patient by being there to help the patient in coping up.

Value- Belief Pattern

The patient is a Roman Catholic. They go to church every Sunday so as to thank the Almighty and candles are also lit every after attending the mass.

5. List of Prioritized Nursing Diagnosis Ineffective tissue perfusion related to arteriolar vasospasm secondary to

pregnancy induced hypertension- Arteriolar circulation is disrupted by alternating segments of

Page 11: Nursing Care Plan_ob Ward

constriction and dilation. The vasospastic action causes damage to the blood vessels by decreasing their blood supply. The vasospasm existing in women with PIH is attributed to the extreme sensitivity of the vasculature to vasopressors

Decreased cardiac output related to decreased venous return as evidenced by edema- Pregnancy Induced Hypertension is a condition in which vasospasms occur. It is caused by altered cardiac output that injures endothelial cells of the arteries. Blood vessels becomes less resistant to pressor substances. This results to vasoconstriction and increases BP.

Activity intolerance r/t imbalance between O2 supply and demand secondary to Pulmonary edema- Activity intolerance is a condition of general weakness, sitting much of the time, oxygen imbalance, or bed rest. The patient may have weakness, blood pressure changes, and shortness of breath when activity is tried.

6. Pathophysiology

Preeclampsia is a characterized, by vasospasms, changes in the coagulation system, and disturbances in systems related to volume and BP control. Vasospasms results from an increased sensitivity to circulating pressors, such as angiotensin II, and possibly an imbalance between the prostaglandins prostacyclin and thromboxane A1.

Endothelial cell dysfunction, believed to result from decreased placental perfusion, may account for many changes in preeclampsia. Arteriolar vasospasm may cause endothelial damage and contribute to an increased capillary permeability. This increase edema and further decreases intravascular volume, predisposing the woman with preeclampsia to pulmonary edema.Immunologic factors may play an important role in the development of preeclampsia. The presence of a foreign protein, the placenta, or the fetus maybe perceived by the mother’s immune system as an antigen. This may then trigger an abnormal immunologic response. This theory is supported by the increased incidence of preeclampsia or eclampsia in first-time mothers or to multiparous woman pregnant by a new partner. Preeclampsia maybe an immune complex disease in which the maternal antibody system is overwhelmed from excessive fetal antigens in the maternal circulation. This theory seems compatible with the high incidence of preeclampsia among women exposed to a large mass of trophoblastic tissue as seen in twin pregnancies or hydatidiform moles.Genetic predisposition maybe another immunologic factor. Dekker reported a greater frequency of preeclampsia and eclampsia among daughters and granddaughters of women with a history of eclampsia, which suggests an autosomal recessive gene controlling the maternal immune response. Paternal factors are also examined.Diets in inadequate nutrients, especially protein, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and vitamin E and C, maybe an etiologic factor in preeclampsia. Some practitioners prescribed high-protein diets (90 mg supplemental protein) without caloric restriction and moderate sodium intake in the prevention and treatment of this disorder. However, data are limited regarding the association between diet and preeclampsia.Preeclampsia progress along a continuum from mild disease to severe preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, or eclampsia. The pathophysiology of preeclampsia reflects alteration in the normal adaptations of pregnancy. Normal physiologic adaptations to pregnancy include increase blood plasma volume, vasodilation, and decreased systemic vascular

Page 12: Nursing Care Plan_ob Ward

resistance, elevated cardiac output, and decreased colloid osmotic pressure. Pathologic changes in the endothelial cells of the glomeruli are uniquely characteristic of preeclampsia, particularly in nulliparous women. The main pathogenic factor is not an increase in BP but poor perfusion as a result vasospasm. Arteriolar vasospasm diminishes the diameter of blood vessels, which impedes blood flow to all organs and raises BP. Function in organs such as the placenta, kidneys, liver and brain is deceased by as much as 40% to 60%
