I like your question about what should be the pregnant woman partner role. The response to the question should reflect the sense of responsibility. The partner should be more than supportive to his pregnant partner. He needs to comforter and help her regarding pre-natal needs before and after the infant is due. The partner must assist her in providing advises and financial resolutions. Thus, assistance and care would help mitigate stress, anxiety, and build confidence in the pregnant…
Internal fetal monitoring is accomplished with a fetal scalp electrode that is a direct electrocardiogram of the FHR and therefore produces the most accurate FHR tracing having an advantage over the external monitoring. The FSE is attached to the fetus during a vaginal exam and then connected to a fetal monitor. Because the risk of transmission to the fetus is increased by the small puncture in the fetal scalp, use of internal scalp electrodes should be avoided if at all possible in the presence of known maternal infections such as HIV, hepatitis or GBS. Fetal scalp monitors are also avoided in preterm infants because of the increased risk of ventricular hemorrhage.…
The aim of the female reproductive system is to produce mature oocytes which match with the male spermatocyte to create offspring. Fertilisation most commonly occurs in the fallopian tubes, though this can also occur later in a female’s menstrual cycle if the egg has already moved down into the uterus, though there is a higher chance of miscarriage as the lining of the womb may continue to shed. The external female reproduction features have two functions; to allow insemination and to also protect against infection and injury. These structures include; the labia majora, which contains glands that produce sweat, the labia minora which surrounds the opening of the vagina and urethra, bartholin's glands which are just behind the vaginal…

The traditional perspective is helpful in analyzing the YouTube video, Wanna Have Sex? (Consent 101), by Laci Green. Explanation and evaluation are key concepts when approaching artifacts using the traditional perspective. The five components within this method are: recreating the context, identifying the audience, describing the source, analyzing the message, and evaluating the discourse. These components are significant to understand different aspects of the message as well as the level of rhetoric of the YouTube video. Additionally these concepts help break down the video Green (2014) is communicating to unpack the main idea within her message to the audience.…
In Liza Neal’s words “Having your period makes you apart of the club. It may not be the club you wanted to join, but hey, a club is a club.” Menstruation is a significant stage of puberty. Though it may be considered inconvenient and embarrassing, it is one of the various physical signs that a girl is taking on into becoming a woman. It can be confusing, just like the other changes that occur with puberty. There are some girls that can’t wait to start their periods. However, others may feel intimidated or anxious. In-fact, many girls don’t have complete knowledge of the woman’s reproductive system or what actually happens during the menstrual cycle. As a result, this can make the process seem even more mysterious. At 11 years old, I recall…

The one part of a woman's body that makes her unique is also the one part that stigmatizes her and gives rise to negative connotations. The vagina: the fountainhead of female sexuality, femininity, and the place of gestation. A woman's vagina is capable of nature's most miraculous event, that is, the birthing of young. This body part also assists with the expulsion of “one of nature’s most stigmatized fluids” (Johnston-Robledo, Chrisler 9). Along with the ability of sustaining a fetus, the vagina will expel menstrual fluid from the uterus if fertilization does not occur when an egg is released from the ovaries. It is the menstrual fluid that creates such a negative image and elicits feelings of disgust in American culture (and around the world).…
The renal system consists of two kidneys, two ureters which come out of the kindeys and a single bladder which collects the urine before it goes into the urethra. It also involves the sphincter muscle which is located just below the bladder and its purpose is to control the flow of urine. The kidneys have renal veins which take the blood from the kidneys into the main vein in the body which is known as the vena cava, they also have short renal arteries which come out of the main vein in the body and enter the kidneys. The purpose of this system is to remove the toxins from your body and to allow you to urinate to get rid of unnecessary fluids and toxins from your body.…
There are a number of factors contributing to the shortage of primary care physicians. The simple rule of supply and demand is driving the physician shortage. The existing primary care physician workforce is shrinking as the demand for primary care services is increasing because of the aging population and the expected number of insured Americans who will enter the system through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Christian, 2011). The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is the federal statute that attempts to reform the American healthcare system by providing more Americans with affordable health insurance (Currie, 2013). Some other reasons why there is a shortage of primary care physicians is that a significant portion of the physician workforce (33%) is over the age of 55 and is planning to retire in the next ten to fifteen years (Amirault, 2014). The number of U.S. medical students going into…
When I was seven my papaw had a stroke. He stayed in the hospital a few weeks and when he came home he had a new bed and bars in the bathroom. Michael started coming to papaw’s not long after that. It was confusing and difficult to watch Michael help papaw out of bed, or brush his teeth, or tie his shoes. Over time we began to notice improvements. Papaw needed help with his buttons but not his shirt. Michael would make the coffee but papaw could pour it. By the time papaw died he needed much less therapy but we still saw Michael every few weeks.…
The psychosocial, economic and biological model of health in terms of reproduction influences reproductive health. Although biologically speaking the human body is ready to reproduce once it reaches puberty, however, for social, economic and cultural factors the act of reproduction is put on halt. From a practical point of view, reproductive health can be a challenge due to financial factors such as being able to provide children with food, shelter and care. Contraception also plays a huge role in the maintenance of reproductive health. Some countries are not fully accepting of various methods of contraception while others countries have healthcare systems that provide their people with health services providing information and methods of safe contraception. It is…
