Second Priority Intervention Postpartum Mom

Decent Essays
The second priority intervention that I would have implemented is for the postpartum mom that I was assigned to. She had some concerns about having help caring for the baby once her husband returns to work because her family does not live in town. The intervention that I would implement is support system enhancement. One outcome that I would want for this patient would be to identify at least one source of help outside of her immediate family, such as a support group for new mothers, that she can turn to for advice on caring for her child by the time she is discharged. According to Cheng, Fowles, and Walker, talking in a support group can benefit child rearing skills and interpersonal relationships (2006). Another outcome for this postpartum

The initial goal for this treatment would be to document what the family already has and possibly work on what they may need in order to remain a stable family. Another goal would be to assure that the parents have the proper training so that can care for the baby correctly. I would first focus on the families strengths.

    Pathophysiology One of the babies I cared for today was born at 33 weeks and was born with a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). When the baby is in the mother’s uterus, the ductus arteriosus (DA) diverts blood from the pulmonary artery and moves it directly into the aorta, bypassing pulmonary circulation, because the lungs are not functioning and are filled with fluid. The DA opening is possible through the production of prostaglandins in the vessel allowing for it to stay patent (Kim, 2015, p.1). When the fetus is born the DA undergoes a transition, which occurs approximately 15-48 hours after birth and is this when the arteriosus constricts and closes. The blood is no longer shunted from the pulmonary artery to the aorta.…

In therapy this could be done using an open ended question. “Tell me a little about yourselves and what brings you all in today?” After saying that statement I would ask Kay to go first since she is the mother and not involved as much in Renee’s life as Brenda is involved. During the second stage the therapist’s main focus is to clarify the presenting problem.…

    Help for the hopeless Pain can be very intense it may seem perfectly reasonable to want something that would make it stop and find some relief. It is a complicated issue, but there has to be some balance and responsibility when consuming painkillers.

Although, these are devastating news; this is not the worse part. An unborn child has to suffer the sad consequence of a pregnant woman who is addicted to these types of pills.…

    Intervention While the TBPS intervention was intended to provide 12 weekly peer support calls, mothers received an average of 884 supportive calls that lasted on average 381 minutes with a range from one to 14 calls (N = 49). Based on the finding from another nurse telephone support study that depression improved for some mothers after only one supportive counselling call while others required more extensive attention (Glavin et al. 2010), mothers with one or more TBPS call were included in outcome analysis. After the mid-point, mothers received an average of 294 peer calls (range 0–8, SD 203). Average total telephone minutes over the study was 364 (SD 162).

    Mothers resistance can possibly derive from the fear of the daughter’s behavior in which she can’t not co-regulate or control because of the mom, it’s simpler to submit to the client’s tantrums and problem-solve the problem instead of guiding her through the process and setting boundaries and limitations to her behavior. In this case, it is easy to put judgment on the mother actions based on the history of services. I am the advocate for the child and I feel as if I should give the parent a reality check in terms of the purpose of our sessions. However, if done inconsiderately and unprofessionally it can potentially put the relationship with the client’s mother in jeopardy.…
