INTRODUCTION
• Delivery Room Rotation, is all about the goal of the student nurses to provide a safe and supportive environment for the mother and the baby during delivery.
• Patient ML admitted• Onset of irreg. abdominal contractions• No pain, bloody and watery vaginal
discharges• 37 weeks and 6 days• 35 y.o• Edc : dec. 26, 14• polyhydramnios
We chose this client: ( reason )• Show the readers the process;• Causes;• Effects;• s/s;• Probable risk that might
happen in the later course• and for the readers to fully
understand and be reminded on one of the complications, associated in pregnancy.
• According to Carlo WA, Polyhydramnios,
• Early in the second trimester;• the baby starts to swallow the fluid
and excrete urine which is swallowed again
• Cunningham FG, Polyhydramnios,• Complications are;• prolapsed of the umbilical cord,• increased incidence of
malpresentations• increased incidence of postpartum
maternal hemorrhage.
• Gilbert WM stated:• A high-resolution
ultrasound is needed to check for abnormalities
• amniocentesis to test for a genetic defect and infections.
• must have regular non stress tests
• (Statistically,)According to Washington’s State ,
• conducted a population-based case-control study
• This assess possible association of maternal smoking with polyhydramnios
• which is 70 % Result as of 2014
(Davis M, Am J Public Health)
• Nationally, in Manila Philippines St. Lukes Hospital
• mild Polyhydramnios, 85 %;• And for the moderate
Polyhydramnios is 17 % ( DOH 2013 ) • Locally, in Davao city • Davao doctors Hospital • reach a 15% percent incidence
rate of pregnant women diagnosed with Polyhydramnios.
(MindaNews March 4, 2014)
• Nursing Education;• Enhance the:• reasoning skills as an act of
discovering new diseases and complications.

Nursing Responsibility: Do not take large doses of vitamins (megadoses or
megavitamin therapy) while you use prenatal
multivitamin unless your doctor tells you to.
Prenatal multivitamin may cause darkened or green
stools. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
Prenatal multivitamin may interfere with certain lab
tests. Be sure the doctor and lab personnel know
your patient are taking prenatal multivitamin.
Tell the patient do not take an antacid within 2
hours of prenatal multivitamin.
Advices the patients do not take dairy products with
this drug. Dairy products may make this drug not

Generic Name Sodium Phosphate
Brand Name Fleet Enema Extra
Classification Laxative
DOSAGE Adults: Enema/Enema Extra: 1 bottle (133mL or 230mL)/24 hrs.
Rectal route
MOA Saline laxative; induces complete emptying of the left colon, usually within 1-5 min, without pain
or spasm.
Side Effects Abdominal or stomach pain
Bloating
Nausea
Vomiting
Adverse Effects
Hypersensitivity, Pruritus, Dehydration, Hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia,
hypernatremia, metabolic acidosis
Drug Interaction
Do not coadminister with other sodium phosphate preparations. Electrolyte disturbances and
hypovolemia from purgation may be exacerbated by concomitant use of diuretics, ACE
inhibitors, ARBs, NSAIDs, and lithium or other medications that may affect electrolyte levels.
May lower lithium levels, causing reduced effectiveness. Caution with medications that affect
renal perfusion/function or hydration status, or known to prolong the QT interval.
Generic Name dextrose monohydrate sodium chloride sodium lactate
Brand Name 5% Dextrose in Lactated Ringer's
Classification Hypertonic Nonpyrogenic Parenteral fluid Electrolyte Nutrient replenisher
DOSAGE D5LRs is supplied in single-dose 500 and 1000 mL flexible plastic containers. 1000 mL @ 30 gtts/min or as prescribed by the physician.
MOA Hypertonic solutions are those that have an effective osmolarity greater than the body
fluids. This pulls the fluid into the vascular by osmosis resulting in an increase vascular
volume. It raises intravascular osmotic pressure and provides fluid, electrolytes and calories
for energy.
Side Effects ncreasedserumosmolality Hypernatremia Hypokalemia Alteredthermoregulation Pulmonaryedema Cardiovascularoverload
Adverse Effects Immune System Disorders: Hypersensitivity/infusion reactions, including
anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions, and the following manifestations: angioedema,
chest pain, chest discomfort, bronchospasm, dyspnea, cough, urticaria, rash, pruritus,
erythema, nausea and pyrexia
Drug Interaction
Nursing Responsibility Do not administer unless solution is clear and container is undamaged. Caution must be exercised in the administration of parenteral fluids, especially
those containing sodium ions to patients receiving corticosteroids or
corticotrophin. Solution containing acetate should be used with caution as excess administration
may result in metabolic alkalosis. Solution containing dextrose should be used with caution in patients with known
subclinical or overt diabetes mellitus. Discard unused portion. In very low birth weight infants, excessive or rapid administration of dextrose
injection may result in increased serum osmolality and possible intracerebral
hemorrhage. Properly label the IV Fluid Observe aseptic technique when changing IV fluid
Diagnostic TestDate Result Rationale
October 10 2014 Bilateral cleft lip and
palate
Defects caused by congenital infections result when a mother gets an
infection before or during the pregnancy. Infections that can cause
birth defectsinclude rubella (German measles),
cytomegalovirus (CMV), syphilis, toxoplasmosis, Venezuelan equine
encephalitis, parvovirus, and, rarely, chickenpox. If the mother is
infected during early pregnancy, rubella carries the highest risk for
birth defects.
October 20, 2014 Fetal 2Decho done around 20 weeks provide general information on different parts
of the fetus including the head, chest, abdomen, and extremities. The
regular ultrasound checks the fetus' heart to make sure it has all four
chambers.
December 5,2014 Polyhydamios a baby will have a medical problem or birth defect that causes him to
stop swallowing fluid while his kidneys continue to produce more. This
may include any condition that makes it hard for him to swallow, such
as pyloric stenosis, a cleft lip or palate, or some kind of blockage in
the gastrointestinal tract. Certain neurological problems, such as with
a neural tube defect or hydrocephaly, can keep the baby from
swallowing as well
Medical OrdersDate Ordered Medical Order Rationale
December 9,2014 Fleet enema A fleet enema is a saline-based enema, which pulls water from your body, into the bowels, so that your stools are softened, making it easier for you to have a bowel movement. People all over the world use fleet enema as a measure for constipation. Since constipation is one of the signs of pregnancy, many women check with their doctors if it is safe for them to use a fleet enema during pregnancy.
December 9,2014 D5LR 120cc/hr Lactated Ringer's maintains fluid volumes in balance between the space
inside and outside the blood vessels. It contains electrolytes, substances
necessary for cell functioning, such as sodium, chloride, potassium and
calcium, but not in the same proportion as the human body. It is used
when intravascular volume is low or to maintain fluid volume during
surgery or labor. Dehydration, burns, gastrointestinal fluid loss and acute
blood loss may all dictate Lactated Ringer's administration to replace
large fluid losses quickly.
December 10, 2014 Multivitamins
and ferrous
sulfate
Ferrous sulfate is given during pregnancy when the potential benefits
outweigh the potential risks also it is given on both anemic and non-
anemic patient. Ferrous sulfate administration during lactation is
generally considered safe for the infant. Pregnancy multivitamins give
you 100 per cent of the recommended daily allowance of all the essential
vitamins and most minerals.

Nursing Theories1. Maternal Role Attainment
Theory• Theorist: Ramona Mercer• head nurse in pediatric • staff nurse in intrapartum,
postpartum and newborn• experience in nursing care of
mother and infants
The Theory Contain 4 Stages of Acquisition
• Anticipatory Stage• Formal Stage• Informal Stage• Personal Stage• development of mother-child
relationship
• Theorist : Virginia Henderson• “First Lady of Nursing” & “First
Truly International Nurse”• health as a quality of life
14 Basic needs of the theory
1. Breathing Normally2. Eating and drinking 3. Elimination of wastes4. Moving and maintaining a desirable
position5. Sleeping and resting6. Selecting suitable clothes7. Maintaining normal body
temperature by adjusting clothing
8. Clean body and well groomed 9. Avoiding dangers and injuries10. Communicating11. Worshipping12. Working for accomplishment13. Planning or participating 14. Learning, discovering ,satisfying
the curiosity
Henderson’s theory
