Keithann James Obstetrical Nurse I am interested in pursuing a career in being an Obstetric nurse. An obstetric nurse helps doctors in administering care for women during pregnancies and childbirth.

population of women who are so ingrained in the existing traditional, harmful practices and beliefs that cause unsafe health outcomes for themselves. Cultural awareness and communication will be key components to prevent early marriage, childbirth, and obstetric fistulas. The activity also increased my awareness of the limited resources, information, and support available for the low income population to meet their daily needs and health necessities. As trained health care providers, we are an important
During pregnancy, the body undergoes various physiological changes as it adapts to the role of developing a fetus. During this fragile time period, a mother’s body is susceptible to various medical conditions that she may otherwise not be at risk for at any other period in her life. The most common cause of abnormal hemorrhage during pregnancy, and in the puerperium, is the thrombohemorrhagic disorder disseminated intravascular coagulation, or DIC. DIC occurs secondary to an underlying condition
since the recognition of opportunity is only just emerging in countries, and their experience in this area is therefore limited. 2.1 Neonatal deaths Babies die after birth because they are severely malformed, are born very prematurely, suffer from obstetric complications before or during birth, have difficulty adapting to extrauterine life, or because of harmful practices after birth that lead to infections.

The ethical dilemmas with maternal decision making are
