Need Help on Postpartum Topic

Published

Hello everyone,

I am a first year ADN student in the l&d rotation right now. I have a presentation next week, and I picked a difficult subject. Please help me with how to go about this, or which is probably my best choice.

I have to do a teaching project related to postpartum. My topic is: sexually transmitted disease to a newborn.

I have to do a pamplet and a teaching for patients postpartumly...I don't know how to go about this and need help. I was thinking HPV ? i dont know.....

Please help!!!

Specializes in 5 yrs OR, ASU Pre-Op 2 yr. ER.

Syphillis as well, can cause blindness.

Are you saying you have to pick a particular STD that a newborn can get, or all of the STDs that a newborn can get?

You also could do HIV transmission. That would probably be a good topic.

Hello Marie,

I have to pick one topic, and i found it difficult because this is postpartum- usually I know they are screened for stis ...so that is why i am having a hard time.

Yeah, I can just present specific stis . We are to develop a teaching outline and a teaching project to present. A flyer,handout...and a 15 minute presentation. Any ideas of how to present this and what i may talk about for one topic?

Thank you greatly for helping me out...its been so stressful this quarter....

Herpes is a great subject for this. And more women than we realize carry the HSV I (yep, the kind usually found on your lip during a cold sore breakout) lady partslly. Interesting at what point the mom acquires it (before or during pregnancy) and the effect on the fetus. Then at delivery, if there are open sores, she is suggested to have a c-section. Of course, there are suppression meds that she can take prior to delivery to decrease the chance of outbreak. Just some food for thought since "cold sores" aren't usually thought of as dangerous to a newborn ....

What about Breastfeeding. There is so much that pt's do not know about. or if you have to be more specific how about mastitis ....how to prevent what to look for...etc

good luck

Hope
