MATERNITY 101 Maternity Labor Case Study
MATERNITY 101 Maternity Labor Case Study. **Maternity Case Study** You are working in labor and delivery at a local hospital. M.J. arrives experiencing contractions and discomfort. You take her to the intake room for privacy, help her change into a gown, and begin asking essential questions to decide the next steps, such as whether to conduct a vaginal exam or gather more information. **What important initial questions will you ask, and why?** Initial questions would focus on obstetric history (GTPAL), due date, pregnancy complications, previous birth experiences, contraction details (start time, pattern), fetal movement, chronic illnesses, social history (marital status, support system), and plans for labor and the newborn. **M.J. has contractions 2 to 3 minutes apart, lasting 45 seconds. It is her third pregnancy. She has a 3-year-old daughter born at 38 weeks and had a miscarriage 2 years ago. Her due date is 2 days away, and her bag of waters is intact. You decide to gather more information before a vaginal exam.**
