Importance of Obstetrics and Gynecology nursing

 Importance of Obstetrics and Gynecology nursing 

Ensuring healthy antenatal period followed by a safe normal delivery with a healthy child and an uneventful post partum period. Prompt and efficient cares during obstetrical emergencies also prevent so many of complications. The importance of the obstetric and gynecology nursing are:

 

·                 Equip the nurse with the knowledge and understanding of the Anatomy and physiology of reproductive organ be able to apply it in practice

·                 With a good knowledge of obstetric drugs including, the effect of diseases their Complications and know how to deal with them.

·                 Develop skills in carrying out antenatal care and be able to detect any abnormality, recognize and prevent complications.

·                 Select high risk cases for hospital delivery and provide health education.

·                 Develop skills in supporting the women in labour, maintain proper records, and deliver her safely and resuscitate her new born when necessary.

·                 Be able to care for the mother and baby during the post partum period and be able to identify abnormalities and help them to get-over it.

·                 Be able to educate them on care of the baby, immunization, family guidance and family spacing.

·                 Be ready to offer advice to support the mother and understand her problems as a mature, kind and helpful nurse.

Drugs and drug target molecules

  Drugs and drug target molecules   Drugs need to bind to target molecules. Is there anything remarkable about this statement at all? Well, two things:   1.    It is a surprisingly recent insight – only about 100 years old. (OK, so that is relative – long ago for you, but I'm nearly there.)   2.    It is not generally true.   The idea of defined receptor molecules for drugs or poisons was conceived by Paul Ehrlich (Figure 1.4). Ehrlich worked on a variety of microbes and microbial toxins. He observed  that many dyes used to stain specific structures in micro-bial cells in microscopic examinations also exerted toxic effects on the microbes. This observation inspired him to systematically try every new dye he could get hold of (and new dyes were a big thing in the late 19 th  century!) on his microbes. Although not trained as a chemist himself, he managed to synthesize the first effective antibacterial drug – an organic mercury compou...

Drug molecules may or may not have physiological counterparts

  Drug molecules may or may not have physiological counterparts   The vasoconstricting action of angiotensin can also be countered at the membrane receptor directly. One such inhibitor that has been around for quite a while is saralasin (Figure 1.6c).   Saralasin illustrates that the structure of the physiological mediator or substrate is a logical starting point for the syn-thesis of inhibitors. However, it is not a completely satisfac-tory drug, because it cannot be orally applied – can you see why? The more recently developed drug valsartan (Figure 1.6d) is orally applicable, but has very limited similarity to the physiological agonist.   Enalapril and valsartan represent the two practically most important functional groups of drugs, respectively – en-zyme inhibitors, and hormone or neurotransmitter receptor blockers. Another important group of drugs that act on hormone and neutotransmittor receptors are `mimetic' or agonistic drugs. However, there is no clinicall...

Ion gradients across the cell plasma membrane

  Ion gradients across the cell plasma membrane All membrane potentials depend on the existence of ion gradients across the membrane in question. The major ion species that shape the form of both resting potentials and action potentials are K + , Na + , Ca ++ , and Cl - . The ion gradi-ents result from the activities of three types of membrane proteins:   1.Ion pumps. These proteins use metabolic energy in the form of ATP to transport ions against their concentra tion gradients. Quantitatively the most important ion pump is Na + /K + -ATP'-ase (Figure 4.1), which transports both sodium and potassium against their respective gra-dients (table 4.1). In addition, various types of calcium pumps are found in the cytoplasmic, ER and mitochon-drial membranes; the direction of Ca ++  transport is al-ways from the cytosol to the other compartment.   2.    Exchange- and co-transporters. These link the gradients of different ion species to one another, so that gradien...
