摘要:

ABSTRACTThe literature on the effects of aerobic exercise on the pregnant woman, her fetus, and pregnancy outcome is reviewed. These findings are used to provide a prescription for exercise during pregnancy. Although limited, research suggests that moderate exercise is safe for pregnant women without medical or obstetrical complications. Further research is needed to determine if exercise is associated with low birthweight, preterm labor, teratogenic effects, or fetal distress.

摘要:

ABSTRACTA research investigation conducted by the Division of Examiners led to the delineation and documentation of the knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with the contemporary practice of American nurse‐midwifery. The identification of the frequency and importance of each task as a component of the concept of professional competence also was determined. Three hundred and thirty‐four (334) statements that describe the tasks (performance behaviors) of American nurse‐midwifery and one hundred and ninety‐six (196) areas of clinical knowledge were identified and evaluated in a three phase, three year study. Nurse‐midwives evaluated each item for the frequency of performance in practice, and for the importance of safe (competent) performance of the behavior to patient w

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe history of the Rh problem is largely one of success. In some communities the incidence of hemolytic disease due to Rh‐incompatibility approaches an irreducible minimum. Efforts to further decrease the pathology that results from Rh‐incompatibility continue on two fronts: prevention of maternal sensitization and in utero treatment of the affected fetus. Unfortunately, while the controversy continues regarding the cost‐effectiveness of routine antepartal administration of Rh immune globulin, many sensitizations still occur as a result of practitioner error. On the other front, technical advances in ultrasonography are assisting perinatologists in more direct treatment of affected fetuses. Nurse‐midwives will continue to play a role in the prevention of sensitization through proper screening and follow‐up of their Rh‐negative clients. Education and direct involvement of the Rh‐negative client in avoiding sensitization may be a first step in the preve

摘要:

ABSTRACTPostpartum thyroiditis is a recently described entity that often presents with symptoms of mild hypertension followed by a transient hypothyroid episode. It is associated with the presence of antimicrosomal antibodies and is thought to be autoimmune in origin. Its first appearance in susceptible women is most often in the postpartum period when it is felt that the immune system may become more active after its suppression during pregnancy. Symptoms are often mild and may be mistaken for postpartum depression or fatigue. If a patient presents with symptoms of hyper‐ or hypo‐metabolism, thyroid function should be monitored. Although the condition is most often transient, treatment may be restricted if the patient is very symptomatic or if thyroid malfunction persi

摘要:

ABSTRACTAn American nurse‐midwife recently visited several midwives at the University Hospital in Reykjavík, Iceland, and a community hospital in Akranes, Iceland. Midwives were observed during their attendance at several births, as well as in all other areas of their practice. This paper includes a look at the Icelandic health system, the role of the midwife, midwifery education, and midwifery practices. The practice and education of midwives in Iceland is contrasted to that of nurse‐midwives in the United St
