IV. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
7. 22
A. External Structures:
1. Mons Veneris/Pubis – Pad of fat which lies over the symphysis pubis where
dark and curly hair grow in triangular shape that begins 1-2 years before the
onset of menstruation. It protects the surrounding delicate tissues from
trauma. (Marieb; 2011).
2. Labia Majora – Two (2) lengthwise fatty folds of skin extending from mons
veneris to the perineum that protect the labia minora, urinary meatus and
vaginal orifice. (Marieb; 2011).
3. Labia Minora – 2 thinner, lenghtwise folds of hairless skin extending from
clitoris to fourchette(Marieb; 2011).
Glands in the labia minora lubricates the vulva
4. Very sensitive because of rich nerve supply Space between the labia is called
the Vestibule(Marieb; 2011).
5. Clitoris – small, erectile structure at the anterior junction of the labia
minora that contains more nerve endings. It is very sensitive to temperature
8. 23
and touch, and secretes a fatty substance called Smegma. It is comparable
to the penis in it’s being extremely sensitive(Marieb; 2011).
6. Vestibule – the flattened smooth surface inside the labia. It encloses the
openings of the urethra and vagina. (Marieb; 2011).
7. Skene’s Glands/Paraurethral Glands – located just lateral to the urinary
meatus on both sides. Secretion helps lubricate the external genital during
coitus. (Marieb; 2011).
8. Bartholin’s Gland/Vulvovaginal Glands – located lateral to the vaginal
opening on both sides. It lubricates the external vulva during coitus and the
alkaline pH of their secretion helps to improve sperm survival in the vagina.
(Marieb; 2011).
9. Fourchette – thin fold of tissue formed by the merging of the labia majora
and labia minora below the vaginal orifice. (Marieb; 2011).
10. Perineum – muscular, skin-covered space between the vaginal opening
and the anus. It is easily stretched during childbirth to allow enlargement of
vagina and passage of the fetal head. It contains the muscles (pubococcygeal
and levator ani) which support the pelvic organs, the arteries that supply
blood and the pudendal nerves which are important during delivery under
anesthesia. (Marieb; 2011).
9. 24
11. Urethral meatus – external opening of the urethra. It contains the
openings of the Skene’s glands which are often involved in the infections of
the external genitalia. (Marieb; 2011).
12. Vaginal Orifice/Introitus – external opening of the vagina, covered by a
thin membrane called Hymen.(Marieb; 2011).
B. Internal Structures:
10. 25
1. Fallopian tube/Oviduct – 4 inches long from each side of the uterus (fundus).
It transports the mature ova form the ovaries to the uterus and provide a place
for fertilization of the ova by the sperm in it’s outer 3rd or outer half.
Parts:(Marieb; 2011).
Interstitial – lies within the uterine wall
Isthmus – portion that is cut or sealed in a tubal ligation.
Ampulla – widest, longest portion that spreads into fingerlike
projections/fimbriae and it is where fertilization usually occurs.
Infundibulum - rim of the funnel covered by fimbriated cells (hair
covered fingerlike projections) that help to guide the ova into the
fallopian tube.(Marieb; 2011).
2. Ovaries – Oval, almond sized, dull white sex glands on either side of the
uterus that measures 4 by 2 cm in diameter and 1.5 cm thick. It is responsible
11. 26
for the production, maturation and discharge of ova and secretion of estrogen
and progesterone. (Marieb; 2011).
3. Uterus – hollow, pear-shaped muscular organ, 3 inches long, 2 inches
wide, weighing 50-60 grams held in place by broad and round ligaments, and
abundant blood supply from the uterine and ovarian arteries. It is located in
the lower pelvis, posterior to the bladder and anterior to the rectum. Organ of
menstruation, site of implantation and provide nourishment to the products of
conception. (Marieb; 2011).
Layers:
1. Perimetrium – outermost layer of the uterus comprised of connective
tissue, it offers added strenght and support to the structure. (Marieb; 2011).
2. Myometrium – middle layer, comprised of smooth muscles running in 3
directions; expels fetus during birth process then contracts around blood
vessels to prevent hemorrhage. (Marieb; 2011).
3. Endometrium – Inner layer which is visibly vascular and is shed during
menstruation and following delivery. (Marieb; 2011).
Divisions of the Uterus:
1. Fundus – upper rounded, dome-shaped portion that can be palpated to
determine uterine growth during pregnancy and the force of contractions
and for the assessment that the uterus is returning to it’s non-pregnant
state following child birth. (Marieb; 2011).
12. 27
2. Corpus – body of the uterus. (Marieb; 2011).
3. Isthmus – area between corpus and cervix which forms part of the lower
uterine segment. It enlarges greatly to aid in accommodating the fetus. The
portion that is cut when a fetus is delivered by a caesarian section. (Marieb;
2011).
4. Cervix – lower cylindrical portion that represents 1/3 of the total uterus.
Half of it lies above the vagina; half of it extends to the vagina. (Marieb; 2011).
5.Vagina – a 3-4 inch long dilatable canal located between the bladder and
the rectum, it contains rugnae which permit considerable stretching without
tearing. It acts as a organ of intercourse/copulation and passageway for
menstrual discharges and fetus. (Marieb; 2011).

Eclampsia
VI . EXPLANATION OF THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF THE DISEASE
CONDITION / SYMPATHOMATOLOGY
The current concepts regarding the pathophysiology of eclampsia
recognize that eclampsia is a multisystem disorder characterized by
vasoconstriction, metabolic changes, endothelial dysfunction, and activation
of the coagulation cascade in conjunction with an inflammatory response.
Women with underlying microvascular disease, such as diabetes,
hypertension, and collagen vascular disease, have a higher incidence of
eclampsia.
Normal placental development involves progressive loss of the
musculoelastic tissue in the spiral arteries that feed the vessels of the
15. 30
intervillous spaces, which results in uterine blood flow increases of nearly
25% during the first trimester. This process of remodeling the maternal
spiral arteries that branch from the uterine artery is typically completed
by 18-20 weeks' gestation.
This physiologic dilatation of the spiral arteries does not occur because
the placental trophoblast cells do not invade the spiral arteries, resulting in
maintenance of narrow vessels with resultant placental hypoperfusion and
ischemia. In severe cases, not only do the spiral arteries maintain their
muscular structure, but other pathologic changes also occur.
Accumulation of fat-laden macrophages with fibrinoid necrosis (ie, acute
atherosis), disruption of the basement membranes, platelet deposition,
mural thrombi, and proliferation of intimal and smooth muscle cells all
decrease the luminal diameter.
The narrowed and damaged spiral arteries become thrombosed,
resulting in placental infarction and necrosis. Uteroplacental blood flow is
then reduced by 50-75%. The anatomical reduction in blood flow may be
complicated by vasospasm of the uteroplacental bed.
The primary defect in preeclampsia appears to originate at the
maternal-fetal interface (the placenta). Decreased placental perfusion is
thought to lead to fetoplacental ischemia. The ischemic placenta may
produce circulating antiangiogenic factors that promote generalized
maternal vascular endothelium dysfunction, leading to systemic
16. 31
manifestations of preeclampsia. Associated abnormalities in clotting and
platelet function contribute to vasoconstriction and platelet adhesion and
aggregation, as well as to the activation of coagulation factors that increase
the risk of thromboembolic formation.
The primary feature of clampsia, development of hypertension, occurs when
normally extreme vasodilatation does not occur. Although cardiac output
increases 30-50%, the decreased peripheral vascular resistance (PVR) results
in decreased BP, even in women with chronic hypertension. Women who
develop preeclampsia experience an increase in PVR and alterations in
vascular sensitivity to endogenous hormones (eg, angiotensin II,
catecholamines, vasopressin). This increase in vascular reactivity to
pressor hormones may be mediated, at least in part, through damage to
vascular endothelial cells, disrupting the normal prostaglandin balance.
The normal expansion of blood volume by 50% that occurs with
pregnancy is decreased by 15-20% in patients with preeclampsia. This is
the result of diminished plasma volume, leading to the relative
hemoconcentration observed in preeclampsia. The plasma volume
abnormality involves a redistribution of extracellular fluid, such that
interstitial fluid volume is increased while the plasma volume is
decreased. The hematocrit increases as the severity of preeclampsia increases.
Circulating blood volume is maintained by the increased vascular tone.

A.2 Treatment and Procedures
1. Vitals Signs Taking
vital signs will be continually monitored while recovering. The Client’s
Respiratory rate, Pulse rate, blood pressure, and temperature are typically
tracked while recovering.(Pillitteri; 2011).
2. Intake and Output Monitoring
Intake Is any measurable fluid that goes into the patient's body. Intake
includes fluids (such as water, soup, and fruit juice) and "solids" composed
primarily of liquids (such as ice cream and gelatin) that are taken by mouth
20. 35
(orally), fluids that are introduced by IV, and fluids that are introduced by
irrigation (through a tube)(Pillitteri; 2011).
Output Is any measurable fluid that comes from the body. Water given off in
the form of perspiration and water vapor (exhaled breath) is also output, but it
is not recorded on the DD Form 792, since it cannot be accurately measured.
(An adult usually looses about 500 milliliters (ml) a day through perspiration
and moisture exhaled in breathing.) The major forms of output recorded on the
worksheet are urine, drainage, vomitus (matter vomited), and stools (fecal
discharge from the bowels).(Pillitteri; 2011).
3. Perineal Care
Cleaning of perineum and the materials it uses is inb accordance to the policy
of the institution. In SVGH, the perineum is clean with lukewarm water and an
antiseptic agent like betadine solution before birth. Following delivery of the
placenta, the perineal area of the mother is washed with tap water as vaginal
canal is clean manually.(Pillitteri; 2011).
4. Delivery
Before the cesarean section procedure, the patient was given anesthesia to
numb the pain. The doctor then made horizontal incision in the abdomen and
uterus. After the incision was made, the baby was delivered through it, and the
placenta was removed. After the cesarean section procedure, the incision was
21. 36
closed with stitches.When the cesarean section was started, the doctor made a
6- to 8-inch incision in the abdomen directly over the uterus. The incision was
horizontal, which was side to side. The baby was then delivered through this
opening.(Pillitteri; 2011).
5. New born Care
The umbilical cord was cut, and the baby was handed to the healthcare
provider, who took him to a small, warmly lit plastic crib called a warmer. Then
the baby was cleaned and dried and eventually checked by the pediatrician.
After the baby had been delivered, the placenta was carefully removed from the
uterus. At that time, the patient received oxytocin, a drug that causes the
uterus to contract and helps prevent serious bleeding. The doctor then closed
the incision on the uterus, and the incisions in the skin were closed with
stitches that would dissolve on their own.(Pillitteri; 2011).
A.3 Medications
See Appendix E
22. 37
A.4 DIET
1. NPO
After the surgery the doctor ordered the NPO diet. NPO is a type of diet
people are placed on by their medical professionals. A NPO diet is most often
seen in a hospital setting. Some patients can be placed on a NPO diet for just a
short time while others may have to stay on it for a much longer time. Patient
cannot have anything that would go in the mouth including food, beverages and
oftentimes medications. Patient can be made NPO for a variety of reasons
including an upcoming surgery, medical procedure or test. She cannot have
anything to eat or drink prior to surgery to honoring the NPO status is very
important.
2. Clear Liquid/ General Liquid
Patient is on a clear liquid diet consists of clear liquids, such as water and plain
gelatin, that are easily digested and leave no undigested residue in your intestinal
tract. The doctor may prescribe a clear liquid diet before certain medical procedures or
have certain digestive problems. Because a clear liquid diet can’t provide with
adequate calories and nutrients, it shouldn’t be continued for more than a few days. A
clear liquid diet is often used before tests, procedures or surgeries that require no food
in the stomach or intestines, such as before colonoscopy.
BREAKFAST ½ cup of oatmeal & 1 glass of milk
LUNCH ½ cup of corn soup & 1 glass of water
DINNER ½ cup of chicken soup & 1 glass of juice
3. Soft Diet
After the clear liquid the doctor ordered a soft diet. A soft diet is recommended in
many situations, including surgery involving the mouth or gastrointestinal tract, and
23. 38
pain from newly adjusted dental braces. A soft diet can include many foods if they are
mashed, pureed, combined with sauce or gravy, or cooked in soups, chili, or curries.
BREAKFAST 1 cup of rice, 1 bacon & 1 glass of milk
LUNCH 1 cup of rice, 1 serving of chicken soup, 1 banana & 1 glass of
water
DINNER 1 cup of rice, I serving of vegetable soup with 1 ripe of mango & 1
glass of water
4. Full Diet
After the soft diet, the patient is ordered DAT. Diet is tolerated is a term that indicates
that the gastrointestinal tracts is tolerating food and is ready for achievement to the
next stage. Therefore, this statement is most effectively in regard to the diet after
abdominal or gastrointestinal surgery, signifying the patient’s wellness of her diet.
BREAKFAST 1 cup of rice, 1 hotdog & 1 cup of milk
LUNCH ½ of rice, 1 slice of meat, & glass of juice
DINNER ½ cup of rice, 1 fish, & glass of water
B. NURSING MANAGEMENT
B.1 Nursing Care Plan
See Appendix C
B.2 Discharge Plan
See Appendix D
ACTUAL CARE GIVEN
1. Vitals Signs Taking
Monitoring of vital signs was done every shift, intake and output measurement
were not strict operating procedure yet we were required t monitor the client’s
intake and output.
2. Administration of Medication
24. 39
Medications were administered via oral route TID as prescribed by the
physician with a full stomach to decrease GI upset.
3. Bedside Care
Giving optimal health both to the mother and client served as our goal as we
performed some nursing interventions like promoting a conducive environment
through bedmaking and adjusting the room temperature. We as well assisted
the client with her needs such as changing of position and guiding her as she
walked.
4. Health Teaching
As a health care provider, I discussed the concept of Family Planning to the
client and gave her information on the proper newborn care & the importance
of proper nutrition and exercise to promote health and prevention of disease
See Appendix F
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED DURING THE CARE
The patient was very cooperative as I deal with her. She was a bit shy and aloof
at first but as the establishing rapport progresses she was able to manage the
timidity and shared her predicaments of pregnancy and delivery. When I was
about to give the medications due for 6pm. I wasn’t able to do it on time for the
25. 40
client never had her lunch yet. She was still waiting for her SO to arrived whom
brought her meals. For 2 days of nursing care, there were no aberration
present; hence, nursing care was done spontaneously.
IX. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Conclusion
Nurses can help the nation achieve National Health Goals. These goals
speak directly to both fetus and the mother because pregnancy is a high risk
factor for them. Close monitoring in pregnant women and health teaching as
much as possible about pregnancy could definitely reduce life threatening
complications.
Studies show that there is no certain facts that will give us the idea
where Eclampsia arise. But there so many factors that could prevent this
complication such as diet modifications, proper compliance with the health
care providers, proper exercise.And if the complication is already present,
proper monitoring, proper diet and drug compliance should be ruled in.
26. 41
The main purpose of the study was successfully met. The major
reason why the patient underwent a surgical procedure called LSTCS was due
to Eclampsia. The baby exhibited non-recessing fetal heart tone as uterine
contractions occur. The operation was done to resolve the risk of pregnancy
and eventually save the baby’s life.
Further run through of the study showed that there are many
other complications that would pose a risk to pregnant women. These were
more complicated and rare. Unlike those, Pre-eclampsia are seen most
commonly in pregnant women experiencing labor.
Recommendation
As a nursing student, it is a responsibility to give a pregnant patient the
proper recommendation so she can make herself ready if any problem will
arise. She should be monitored frequently—her blood pressure, medical history
and also check the baby inside if he/she is doing well or in the proper position.
The most important one is the mother’s health. The mother should be given
the proper care for herself and for the baby. There is a possibility that a
caesarean delivery might be planned advance if a medical reason is needed or it
might be unplanned and take place during the labor if some problems occur.
The mother must be given the proper knowledge regarding a vaginal or
caesarean delivery right from her first pregnancy. For caesarean section, it is
very complicated operation which can have some risks like death for the
27. 42
mother, sometimes have some initial trouble breathing for the newborn babies
and will make them drowsy from the pain medication administered to the
mother. Breastfeeding maybe difficult due to the limited mobility of the mother
after the operation. A pregnant woman must be well cared by a nurse with her
personal attending obstetrician.
With this study, the student nurses were able to gain more knowledge
and wider view and perspective of the complication of pregnancy which is
Eclampsia. Thus, the student nurses would like recommend and share some
pointers on how to deal with different diseases with pregnancy specifically
Eclampsia.
To the health care team, they should righteously implementing basic and
ideal procedures regardless of the health care facilities where they belong. They
must observe and always remember to keep in line with their duties towards
both the mother and the child during the pregnancy.
X. IMPLICATIONS OF THE STUDY TO
A. Nursing Education
This study helps in enriching the knowledge base of the nurses
regarding the concepts of this kind of complication. This would greatly help in
determining the risk factors that would possibly be prevented from occurring
once there is an application of this study. This can cater all the questions
28. 43
regarding how and why this certain kind of operation is performed. The best
thing about this study is that there is a comprehensive explanation of the
relationship between the surgery performed and the cause of this high-risk
