1. Family centred care - ANSWER: idea begin in the 1940s and took off in the 70s.
The nurse serves as:
Educator, caregiver, advocate, researcher, change agent, political activist
2. Parenting is - ANSWER: a learned process and non gender related
-attachment is the first type of parenting
3. Menstruation is triggered by - ANSWER: decreasing levels of estrogen and
progesterone
4. Prostaglandins - ANSWER: released by the uterus and cause contractions
5. Ovarian cycle consists of: - ANSWER: follicular, ovulation and luteal
6. Follicular phase - ANSWER: -the follicles in the ovary grow and form a
mature egg.
-The goal of this phase is to produce an ovum for fertilization.
-starts on day 1 of the menstrual cycle and continues until ovulation, approximately 10
to 14 days later.

7. Ovulation - ANSWER: a mature follicle ruptures in response *to a surge of LH,*
releasing a mature oocyte (ovum).
This usually occurs on day 14 in a 28-day cycle
8. Luteal phase - ANSWER: begins at ovulation and lasts until the menstrual
phase of the next cycle.
It typically occurs on days 15 through 28
After the follicle ruptures as it releases the egg, it closes and forms a corpus luteum.
9. Menstrual cycle - ANSWER: proliferative phase
Secretory phase
Ischemic phase
Menstrual phase
10. Proliferative phase - ANSWER: corresponds to the follicular stage.
Increasing amounts of estrogen
Endometrium gets thicker
Starts on about day 5 till ovulation
11. Secretory phase - ANSWER: day 15-28
Goes with the luteal phase
The endometrium becomes thickened and more vascular (growth of the spiral arteries)
and glandular (secretion of more glycogen and lipids).
12. Ischemic phase - ANSWER: if fertilization does not occur
Estrogen and progesterone levels drop
,3|Page
Ischemia leads to shedding of endometrium resulting in blood flow
13. Menstrual phase - ANSWER: begins as the spiral arteries rupture secondary to
ischemia, releasing blood into the uterus, and the sloughing of the endometrial lining
begins.
14. Beginning of fatal life occurs - ANSWER: when sperm and ovum unite
15. Zygote - ANSWER: fertilized egg
*Sex is determined at fertilization*
16. Umbilical cord - ANSWER: connects baby to placenta
-2 arteries and 1 vein
17. Fertilization begins - ANSWER: 2 weeks after the beginning of a woman's last
period
18. Hormones produced by placenta - ANSWER: Human chorionic
gonadotropin
Human placental lactogen
Progesterone
Estrogen
19. Human chorionic gonadotropin - ANSWER: maintains the corpus letus and is
produced early (hcg is what pregnancy tests detect)
, 4|Page
20. Human placental lactogen - ANSWER: regulates glucose availability for the foetus
21. Progesterone - ANSWER: helps to suppress maternal immunological
responses to fatal antigens and prevents maternal rejection of foetus. *Maintains
the pregnancy*
22. Estrogen - ANSWER: production increases significantly during pregnancy,
enhances myometrial activity, promotes vasodilation, increases pituitary secretion of
bacterial placenta, protects baby from pathogens
23. Estrogen levels are highest during the - ANSWER: proliferative phase
24. Prolactin - ANSWER: stimulates milk production
25. Hormone primarily responsible for ovulation - ANSWER: LH
26. The idea of family centred care when related to maternity is - ANSWER:
that childbirth affects the entire family and relationships will change
27. Haematopoiesis - ANSWER: occurs in the embryo and declines in week 8 when
fatal liver starts to take over
28. Heart starts beating - ANSWER: at 3 weeks gestation and starts circulating
blood
29. Folic acid - ANSWER: given to decrease the incidence of neural tube
defects
