Tutorial 2: Birth of the Placenta - Birth of the Problem Placenta During Childbirth
6. Clinical Case
The purpose of the clinical case is to present a problem which can occur
during the birth of the placenta. The lessons taught in section 1
through 6 of this Tutorial 2 are illustrated. The learner is able to
use his/her own knowledge and judgment in responding to the scenario of
an actual case. She/he can then compare their responses to those of a
seasoned health care provider.
The case explores the question of what might be done to:
a. initiate action at the earliest possible time,
b. provide management of care appropriate to resolution of the
problem and
c. initiate effective follow-up care and instruction for the
postpartum mother.
This case illustrates safe, appropriate management for the
nurse-midwife, However, it is recognized that there may be other
equally safe and appropriate actions which may be taken. Your own
particular circumstances may vary.
