2009This course looks at the management of normal and complex clients and their families in the antepartum period. It is divided into two sections. Section 1 is a sequence of Modules designed to provide the knowledge base and clinical competencies needed to anticipate and identify problems and emergent complications that require the nurse-midwife to collaborate, consult or refer. Selected antepartum complications are addressed, such as bleeding in pregnancy, PIH, gestational diabetes and HIV. Development of a differential diagnosis list and the concomitant work-up to rule-in or rule-out specific problems are examined. Appropriate and timely consultation and/or referral are emphasized. This content is presented first in this course, as it is essential that you integrate a thorough knowledge of antepartum complications early in your clinical experiences. Modules 1-5. Section 2 is a sequence of Modules designed to provide the knowledge base and clinical competencies needed to more fully address selected management issues that the nurse-midwife will take up with all clients. These management issues include facilitating prenatal attachment, counseling regarding hazards to fetal development, and psychosocial dynamics during pregnancy. Also included are prenatal diagnosis, genetic counseling and issues related to the extremes of childbearing age. Modules 6-10. Prerequisite: All Level II courses for students attending Level III.

This course builds on the nurse-midwifery role, birth center history and development, community assessment, and market research content in previous courses. Students will prepare a business plan for a nurse-midwifery birth center. In preparation for this final proposal, students learn a process for looking at the business of the delivery of nurse-midwifery and birth center services within the health care system. The rationale for using the birth center as a case study for a business plan is that it is a cost-based, single service unit, offering a wellness model of care with a plan for medical consultation and referral to acute care as needed.
