Prenatal care in the first trimester of pregnancy often involves reassuring the pregnant person.
Practice this chapterPrenatal care in the first trimester of pregnancy often involves reassuring the pregnant person. The physical examination is a modified head-to-toe examination and a focused reproductive examination of the patient.
The initial prenatal visit includes a comprehensive history and physical of the person who is pregnant. The history focuses on the pregnant person, the biological father (or sperm donor) of the baby, family, and lifestyle practices.
trimester — 14 weeks of pregnancy; the 280 days of gestation during pregnancy are divided into three periods, called trimesters. physical examination — a modified head-to-toe examination and a focused reproductive examination of the patient. first trimester — 0 to 13 weeks and 6 days of gestation. fundal height — measurement from the symphysis pubis to where the fundus (or top) of the uterus is palpated in a patient who is pregnant.
Worked example
What does “trimester” mean in Prenatal Care?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for trimester.
- 2The book says: 14 weeks of pregnancy; the 280 days of gestation during pregnancy are divided into three periods, called trimesters.
- 3Do not use the meaning of physical examination. That term means a modified head-to-toe examination and a focused reproductive examination of the patient.
Result: 14 weeks of pregnancy; the 280 days of gestation during pregnancy are divided into three periods, called trimesters
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for trimester.
Do not swap trimester and physical examination. trimester means 14 weeks of pregnancy; the 280 days of gestation during pregnancy are divided into three periods, called trimesters. physical examination means a modified head-to-toe examination and a focused reproductive examination of the patient.
