LEARNING OUTCOMES
Cord care and care of the newborn for cesarean section is more
or less the same as that in normal spontaneous delivery. All the same,
additional attention must be paid. This is because the newborn might have
complications brought about by the procedure. Patent airway and
thermoregulation is two of the main concerns.

The Operating Room/Delivery Room opened up a new world to us
as we explored medical and surgical nursing. It’s also like travelling back to
the obstetrics. The best bit of it was there was actualization of the return
demonstrations we have been looking forward of putting into practice. It felt
like we became nurses already.

NURSING HEALTH HISTORY
Nursing health history is the first part of the client’s health status, it is
systematic collection of subjective data provided by the patient’s/significant
other’s verbalizations and supplemental by objective data gathered during
physical assessment. It is needed for solving and determining a patient’s
problem and for the nurse to know what interventions to be applied and what
may be the cause of the illness.
Since our patient cannot really express much of herself due to her
condition, we chose to gather information from her mother whom is very
close to her.
It was on December 28, 2008, Friday, when we chose a case for our
individual case study. During my first encounter with the patient, she was
lying on DR table with #1 IVF of D5LR @ 30 gtts/min. hooked at the left
cephalic vein.
For the patient’s trust, privacy, dignity and respect we gave herm we
decided to hide her name and called her Patient B.
Patient B grew up at Purok 10, Ong Yiu, Butuan City with her family,
and has been used to the Muslim traditions since both of her parents were
joshbonny@yahoo.com Page 10
Muslims. Patient B finished her secondary level at Agusan National High
School, and was already married at the age of 16 years old to a Muslim who
was then a close relative to their family. She was only 17 years old when she
gave birth to her first child through Cesarean Section (Low Segment
Transverse), because she had a difficulty in delivering the child due to her
age and the lack of knowledge.
T = 37.2°C
P = 90 bpm
R = 20 bpm
BP=110/80 mmHg
Dr. Calamba, her surgeon gave her the following orders:
joshbonny@yahoo.com Page 11
the assistant surgeon explained to us what they were cutting. Then follows
the fascia, which is dark red in appearance as well as the appearance. The
incision of the peritoneum was quite delayed because the surgeons had to
clamp the subcutaneous folds. In a matter of seconds, the head of the baby
came out, so the doctor instructed the circulating nurses present to prepare
the suction and the bassinette, and also instructed to turn the air conditioner
off to prevent physiologic weightloss of the infant. When the baby came out,
he was of pale color, so the assigned student nurse for cord care, together
with out clinical instructor suctioned the baby and established patent airway.
Patient B was still asleep at that time due to the anesthetic effects.
