5 Ways Nurses Can Start The Shift Right
And if that day is today, then you’re in luck. These five easy tricks should start you off on the right track for your upcoming shift:
Labor and Labor Complications
Labor refers to the process of childbirth, during which a pregnant woman experiences rhythmic uterine contractions that lead to the progressive opening of the cervix and the eventual delivery of the baby. It is a natural and dynamic process that signifies the end of pregnancy and the beginning of motherhood.
Gestational Trophoblastic Disease
Gestational trophoblastic disease is the degeneration and abnormal proliferation of the trophoblastic villi. The cells become filled with clear fluid, giving them the appearance of grape-like vesicles.
Incompetent Cervix
Incompetent cervix is a condition that refers to the inability of the cervix to hold the fetus any longer until term because it has dilated prematurely.
Antiarrhythmic Drugs
Antiarrhythmics address arrhythmia by altering cells’ automaticity and conductivity. Includes Class IA, IB, IC, II, III, and IV.
