at the umbilicus
At 20 weeks, the fundus can be palpated at the umbilicus. A fundus of 12 weeks' gestation is palpated at the symphysis pubis. At 16 weeks' gestation, the fundus is midway between the symphysis pubis and umbilicus. At 36 weeks' gestation, the fundus can be palpated just below the ensiform cartilage.
eat dry crackers or toast before rising
The nurse should recommend the client eat dry crackers or toast before rising to prevent nausea and vomiting in the morning. Drinking plenty of fluids at bedtime could cause nocturia. Foods such as cheese should be avoided to prevent constipation. Spicy foods could cause heartburn.
"I should substitute intercourse with nonsexual touch to avoid harming the fetus"
Sexual needs may be met through sexual intercourse with a partner as long as the pregnancy is healthy and there are no other risk factors, such as bleeding or rupture of membranes. Pregnancy is a time of a heightened need for touch, which may be met partially by sexual expression, but which can also be met through nonsexual touch, such as massage, caressing, or holding.
cystic fibrosis
Screening of genetically linked disorders is important when obtaining a family history. Cystic fibrosis is a genetically linked disorder. Tuberculosis is an infectious disorder. Rheumatic fever stems from a streptococcus infection. Asthma is a hypersensitivity typically from an environmental allergy.
developing healthy patterns for a lifetime
identifying foods to
build iron stores
incorporating foods to build bone mass
designing a diet consistent with cultural factors
During pregnancy, teaching includes healthy nutrition for the pregnancy, such as building iron stores and bone mass as well as developing healthy patterns for a lifetime; this impacts both the client and her future children. Any teaching about nutrition needs to be consistent with cultural factors. These are long-term outcomes. Finding inexpensive sources of low-fat foods is not consistent with healthy teaching during pregnancy.
supplying energy to the fetus
sustaining the elevated metabolic rate
providing energy for increased workload
promoting cellular growth
Increased maternal caloric intake is needed to provide energy and cellular growth in the fetus as well as to provide for the increased workload and metabolic rate of the maternal body. Increased caloric intake does not build strength for the birth process.
20 cm
Between weeks 18 and 32 the fundal height in centimeters should match the gestational age of the pregnancy. At 20 weeks' the fundal height should be at the umbilicus. A fundal height smaller than expected can indicate that the original dates were miscalculated, oligohydramnios, or that the fetus is smaller than expected. If the fundal height is larger than expected this can indicate multiple gestation, the original dates were miscalculated, polyhydramnios, or a molar pregnancy.
About 1 hour after birth the fundal height is at the belly button.
The fundus will decrease by 1 cm per day and you won't be able to palpate it by day 10-14 because it has entered back into the pelvic cavity.
Therefore, 24 hours after birth the fundus should 1 cm (or one finger breadth) BELOW the belly button......48 hours it should be 2 cm below the belly button.
At 7 days the fundus should be at the symphysis pubis.
At 10-14 days the fundus should be back in the pelvic cavity and can't be palpated.
At 6 weeks the uterus will be back at its size before pregnancy.
