A survey-based study that takes a hard look at the what’s preventing progression of women’s careers after motherhood, understanding what women really need and finding how all players in the ecosystem can meet their demands
The document provides information about the De Taza family case study. It includes details about the family members, their living situation, health practices, and identified nursing problems. The family lives in a small house with limited resources and earns less than $2000 per month. They have poor sanitation practices like improper food storage, garbage disposal, and drainage. The identified nursing problems include accident hazards, limited income, unsanitary habits, and environmental health threats. The family has some awareness of health issues but lacks resources and prioritization of problems to take appropriate action.
The document discusses arguments for and against increased access to higher education leading to a devaluing of degrees. Some argue that with more graduates, degrees lose respect and become a "rat race" as graduates must compete for jobs. However, the author believes increased education is positive as it is now available to all, not just the rich, which will benefit both individuals and society through an more educated workforce that can discuss ideas and attract foreign investment to the country's economy. In conclusion, while problems exist, educating all people to their highest ability can only further a country's progress.
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, whether by choice or accident. Abortion is legal in many countries including the United States, but illegal in others. Half of women who get abortions are under 25, and 60% have never been married. Getting an abortion can be a difficult decision that may lead to emotional trauma. Reasons for abortion include rape, health concerns for the mother or baby, and social or personal issues. While abortion may be traumatic, childbirth could also be physically and mentally challenging. Some risks of abortion include guilt, complications, and psychological issues. Adoption is an alternative that allows the baby's right to life.
This document defines antepartum haemorrhage (APH) as bleeding from or into the genital tract occurring from 22 weeks of pregnancy until birth. APH complicates 3-5% of pregnancies and is a leading cause of perinatal and maternal mortality. The main causes of APH are placenta praevia, abruptio placentae, vasa praevia, and excessive show. Management involves assessing maternal and fetal stability, investigating to determine the cause, monitoring closely, and deciding whether expectant management or delivery is required based on gestational age and severity of bleeding.
This document discusses the nursing shortage crisis in the United States. It summarizes surveys that found nurses are overburdened, dissatisfied with their work, and concerned about patient safety due to inadequate staffing levels. It also cites research showing decreased nurse staffing correlates with increased medical errors. The document proposes several solutions to address the shortage including improving nurse compensation and work conditions, increasing nursing school enrollments, regulating nurse-to-patient ratios, and making hospitals more "nursing-driven" organizations.
This document summarizes a study that aims to determine the level of awareness of malpractice and professional negligence among registered nurses in private hospitals in Iligan City, Philippines. It discusses the study's theoretical framework, which is based on Patricia Benner's model of skill acquisition in nursing. The document also outlines the study's objectives, hypotheses, significance, scope, limitations, and methodology.
The document provides guidance on performing manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) for abortion, including preparing the client, administering pain management, performing the procedure, monitoring the client's recovery, providing contraceptive counseling, and following up after the procedure. Instructions are given on using appropriate instruments, maintaining aseptic technique, managing complications, and educating the client on what to expect during the recovery process.
This document discusses unsafe abortion globally and regionally. It notes that 21.6 million unsafe abortions occur worldwide annually, resulting in 47,000 deaths. The rate of unsafe abortion is highest in developing regions where abortion is more restricted. Improving access to contraception and safe abortion services, especially in rural areas in the developing world, could help reduce abortion-related deaths and complications.

This document discusses the public health consequences of abortion in Myanmar. It notes that abortion is illegal except to save a woman's life, and many women resort to unsafe methods performed by traditional birth attendants. This can result in incomplete abortions, bleeding, infections and even death. While some emergency treatment services exist in hospitals, they are difficult to access. Introducing misoprostol or manual vacuum aspiration at primary health centers could help manage abortion complications since these methods are effective, easy to use, and don't require physicians. Overall, reducing unwanted pregnancies through family planning and counseling, as well as expanding post-abortion care, could help address the health impacts of unsafe abortion in Myanmar.
This document discusses hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of nausea and vomiting that affects 0.3-2.0% of pregnancies. It is characterized by severe, prolonged nausea and vomiting leading to weight loss of over 5% of pre-pregnancy weight. The cause is unknown but may involve high levels of hCG, estrogen and thyroid hormones. Risk factors include previous hyperemesis, obesity, multiples, and being a primigravida. Diagnosis involves assessing dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and ruling out other causes. Management includes antiemetics, IV hydration, thiamine supplementation, and in severe cases terminating the pregnancy.
The document summarizes the normal mechanism of labor with an occiput anterior position of the fetal head. It describes the key stages of engagement, descent, flexion, internal rotation, crowning and extension of the head. Internal rotation occurs as the presenting part rotates anteriorly upon meeting resistance from the sloped pelvic floor. This allows the anteroposterior diameter of the head to align with the widest diameter of the pelvic outlet to facilitate delivery. The stages ensure the fetus progresses safely through the birth canal during a vaginal delivery.
This document discusses abortion from several perspectives. It begins by defining abortion and outlining the main arguments in the debate. Most abortions are due to the pregnancy being unwanted or inconvenient, rather than health or rape-related issues. The document then notes the psychological impacts abortion can have on women's emotions and relationships. It outlines the pro-choice and pro-life positions on whether abortion should be legal. The author's opinion is that abortion should be legal only in cases of rape, health risks to the mother, risk of severe birth defects, or if continuing the pregnancy poses mental health risks, but not simply for unwanted pregnancies. The solution proposed is safe sex education and limiting legal abortion to particular situations.
Rachel Campbell outlines her approach and goals for teaching 5th grade mathematics during the 2016-2017 school year. She emphasizes positive reinforcement, setting high standards, and helping students gain confidence and take responsibility for their success. The curriculum will build on previous knowledge of multiplication and division, and introduce new concepts like factoring, greatest common factors, and rules of divisibility. Students will work individually and in groups to apply these new skills. Grading will be based on tests, quizzes, homework, and classwork. Students are expected to participate daily, complete assignments, and follow classroom and school policies to have a successful year of learning.

The family assessment document summarizes a community health nurse's home visit with the Mabatid family. The nurse conducted an initial assessment of the family, collecting information on their structure, socioeconomic factors, environment, and health. Key issues identified were improper waste disposal and a large mosquito presence. The nurse prioritized these problems and created a family nursing care plan focused on educating the family on proper waste segregation and disposal. The activity reinforced the important role community health nurses play in preventive care, health education, and addressing issues at their source within families and communities.
This document discusses the emergency management of traumatic complications in pregnancy. It notes that the maternal life takes priority, as the best chance of fetal survival is maternal survival. It provides guidance on airway management, breathing, circulation, disability assessment, exposure and the environment for pregnant trauma patients. Specific considerations are given to the use of imaging, abdominal/vaginal exams, and the management of potential complications like placental abruption and uterine injury. Outcomes are discussed based on the stability of both the mother and fetus.
1. Nursing informatics involves the use of computers and information technology in nursing practice, education, research, and management. It has its origins in the 1960s and has grown with the development of electronic health records and other clinical information systems.
2. Computers are now widely used in nursing education for instruction, assignments, and record keeping. In clinical practice, computerized documentation systems and direct patient monitoring applications are common.
3. Advantages of these systems include improved access to patient information, quality monitoring, and engaging patients in their own care. However, concerns include costs and potential errors in the systems.
Nursing shortages are a complex issue influenced by factors like nurse supply and demand imbalances, gender discrimination, and links between nurse staffing levels and patient outcomes. While the UK has historically responded to shortages by increasing nurse training numbers and international recruitment, the future focus will likely shift to managing healthcare demand and changing nurse skill mix through roles like assistant practitioners to better utilize the nursing workforce. International comparisons show variation in nurse levels and wages across countries.
1. Post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) remains a major cause of maternal mortality worldwide, accounting for approximately 100,000 deaths annually.
2. PPH can be primary (within 24 hours of delivery) or secondary (after 24 hours) and is usually caused by uterine atony (80%) or trauma (20%). Prevention focuses on risk identification, active management of the third stage of labour, and prompt treatment.
3. Initial management of PPH involves uterotonic drugs, uterine massage, IV fluids, and bimanual compression. If bleeding continues, additional measures may include condom catheter tamponade, uterine or internal iliac artery ligation, or hysterectomy.

This document summarizes several obstetric emergencies including postpartum hemorrhage, antepartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia, uterine inversion, uterine rupture, and cord prolapse. It describes the causes, signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of each condition. Primary postpartum hemorrhage is defined as bleeding over 500cc within 24 hours of delivery and can be caused by uterine atony, genital tract trauma, or retained placenta. Antepartum hemorrhage involves bleeding from 24 weeks of gestation until delivery and may be due to placenta previa, abruptio placenta, or local cervical causes. Uterine rupture can occur spontaneously, due
The document discusses a deworming campaign held by the Department of Health and Municipality of Balatan. It provides information on preventing worm infestation in families and communities. Key points include how worms can enter the body, symptoms in children, and the importance of deworming. Children ages 2-14 should receive a single dose of albendazole tablets every 6 months to purge worms 2-3 times per year.
The third stage of labor, which involves delivery of the placenta, is the most crucial stage for the mother's health. A major complication is postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), excessive bleeding after childbirth. PPH can be primary (within 24 hours) or secondary (24+ hours later). The main causes of primary PPH are uterine atony (95%), retained tissue, trauma, and coagulopathy. Treatment involves controlling bleeding through uterine massage, medications, and in severe cases, surgery. While clinical examination and ultrasound are used for diagnosis, homeopathy may also help prevent PPH complications.
The document discusses various obstetric emergencies including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy like preeclampsia and eclampsia. It describes complications in each trimester such as ectopic pregnancy, abortion, and postpartum hemorrhage. It provides details on the management of preeclampsia including delivery within 12 hours of onset of convulsions. Magnesium sulfate is discussed as the treatment for eclampsia. Risk factors, signs, and management of obstetric emergencies like abruptio placentae, placenta previa, and postpartum hemorrhage are also summarized.
This document contains 14 sections with true/false questions about obstetrics and gynecology topics such as drugs that cause elevated prolactin, assisted breech delivery techniques, indications for amniocentesis, complications of Essure insertion, and cervical cancer characteristics. The sections cover a wide range of subject areas within obstetrics and gynecology.

The document discusses women in India and their changing roles. It notes that the number of working women is increasing, as is the percentage of women living in nuclear families. It also describes some abilities of women, such as quick visual grasp and patience. The document then discusses working mothers and outlines segments like career-oriented women and those who work just for income. It provides details on a proposed magazine for working mothers that would provide balance, health, and career content.

Results of a survey conducted by the Society of Petroleum Engineers in May 2011 on factors impacting dual career couples. 5570 people participated in the survey.
1. Despite progress, gender inequality still exists as women are paid less than men and face discrimination. In the 1970s, women made 59 cents for every dollar men made, and in 2010 they still only earned 77 cents to the dollar.
2. Women are underrepresented in leadership positions, making up only 4% of Fortune 500 CEOs despite outperforming men academically. Many women feel forced to choose between being liked or pursuing professional success due to gender stereotypes.
3. Discussing gender inequality helps identify opportunities to close the gap by addressing unconscious biases. Stereotypes introduced in childhood become self-fulfilling prophecies if not addressed.
Look Before You Leap: A 2-Part Webinar Series For Professionals With One Foot...Ivy Exec
Part I of the webinar: “Motherhood Guilt or Job Dissatisfaction?” will…
• help you decide if your thoughts about leaving the workforce are your own, or are influenced by others.
• include a provocative discussion exploring whether motherhood “guilt” is well-founded or whether you have unrealistic expectations for balancing work and life..
• help you evaluate more deeply why you work and how you would replace your work drivers at home. And,
• give you a clear framework for deciding if it is perception or reality for you, that the grass is indeed greener on the other side.
For many women, a large factor in the “stay or go” decision is whether an alternative work structure is even possible. Part II of the webinar will help you “Exhaust Your Flexible Work Options.” Too many women assume flexibility is not an option or leave after one casual “ask.” This webinar discussion will help you determine if your job is a candidate for full or partial telecommuting, and how to make a professional case for flexibility. Looking beyond your current job, you’ll also learn where to look for other, more flexible opportunities and if an entrepreneurial venture would fit your work and broader life styles.

The purchasing control of Moms and her advanced connectivity is having a powerful effect on the way brands must communicate to successfully capture Her attention and build a meaningful relationship.
To engage with The Connected Mom, you must bridge a true understanding that begins with facts and trends developing into a strategy for reaching Mom as a real person.
The document discusses strategies for effectively marketing to mothers (Moms) in today's digital landscape. It notes that Moms have significant purchasing power and influence over household spending. They are highly connected online, with most Moms using social media and conducting product research online. The summary should provide an overview of key points about Moms' online behaviors and best practices for engaging them through meaningful programs and content.
The document discusses how to effectively market to connected moms using social media. It notes that moms have significant purchasing power and use social media extensively to research products and get recommendations. To engage moms, brands must understand moms' diverse needs and lives, how they use various social platforms, and focus communications on sharing meaningful and trusted information to aid moms in their decision making. The key is integrating online and offline initiatives to authentically connect with moms across the channels they prefer.
This document discusses the challenges working mothers face in balancing career and family. Nearly half of working women and mothers in professional fields are working mothers. While juggling work and family is difficult and causes stress and guilt for many mothers, sociologists argue that working mothers can provide better role models for their children by showing them that both men and women have careers and personal lives. The document also shares perspectives from several celebrity mothers who acknowledge the challenges but emphasize doing the best they can and prioritizing quality time with their families.
This document discusses making space for mothers in the tech workplace. It notes that diversity of experiences leads to better ideas and decisions, and that tapping into a wider talent pool means better talent. Blind hiring data from one company found that 58% of those hired were women after removing identifying information. Barriers for women include untenable work-life conflicts and difficulty re-entering the workforce after taking time away. While flexible policies could help, many companies resist implementing them. The document discusses the impact of career gaps on mothers and calls for a discussion around reducing work-life conflicts, offering flexible options to all, and recognizing biases in hiring and promotions.
The document summarizes findings from the 2016 Modern Family Index survey on working parents' expectations from employers. Some key findings:
- 70% of first-time parents and women planning babies said their employer impacted baby timing. Parents expect work-life balance.
- New parents worry about career impacts post-baby. Many report feeling less committed at work or treated worse than others after having children.
- Both women and men are committed to their careers and expect to return to work after having children. However, many employers do not meet family-friendly expectations.
- As a result, around half of new parents take new jobs for better work-life balance even if it means less pay, and over 75% consider changing

This document discusses research from CafeMom about modern mothers' lives and challenges. It summarizes findings from the MomQuality of Life Index survey of over 2,200 mothers. Key findings include that raising children is the best part of mothers' lives but relationships lack quality time. Mothers feel stressed, anxious and lack personal time. The economy is a major worry. To engage mothers, brands should help them make connections, gain control, and express themselves. Providing value beyond products can build loyalty and get mothers to recommend brands to others. Understanding mothers is key to winning with this important demographic.
You’re a mom first, but you’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit.
Maybe a parent or a close relative you looked up to was an entrepreneur.
Whatever the reason, you’ve always loved the idea of running your own business and having the flexibility to be there for your kids.
Even though you have a job, you’ve always been passionate about fitness, writing, or helping others.
Watch this for everything you need to know to become a Mompreneur!

This document discusses whether the idea of "having it all" is a myth for women. It notes that while empowerment has been celebrated, there has been little discussion of the real barriers that still exist. These barriers include things like pregnancy and maternity leave, financial challenges, and social pressures that can force difficult choices between career and family. It also highlights changes over time like more women in the workforce, higher housing costs, and new pressures on household dynamics that have created significant challenges. Ultimately it argues that flexibility in areas like working hours, locations, and career paths could help address these issues and make it easier to balance work and family responsibilities.
The document discusses several potential consequences of women working outside the home, including both potential positive and negative impacts. Positives include additional family income, financial independence for single women, and role models for young females. Negatives include less supervision for children, women still handling housework after work, potential workplace discrimination, and difficulties reaching high positions due to pregnancy fears. Traditional gender roles and family structures are also impacted. The document asks if women should stay home or if working women are declining society.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
