History of Illnesses August 7, 2010 Mrs. DC went to her doctor complaining for painful urination, oliguria and abdominal pain which she had observed and experienced for 2 days. She was diagnosed with UTI and was ordered to take Augmentin 3 times a day for 7 days. August 12, 2010 10:30AM, when the client was busy working at the office, she felt a sudden gush as if urinating, akala ko naihi lang ako bigla, as verbalized by the client. She rushed to the comfort room to urinate. The client checked her pad and saw a clear, odourless, watery vaginal discharge. The client then called her OB-Gyne informing him about the incident, and then described its characteristics. Her OB-Gyne then instructed Mrs. CNCR-DC to see him at his clinic at Fatima. The client was assessed and was informed that her amniotic fluid was already ruptured and that the fetus is in breech position. The client was admitted at Manila Doctors Hospital. She was observed inside the MDH-delivery room. She was given Steroids intravenously for the lung maturity of the fetus. The doctor monitored her uterine contractions, a second dose of Steroids was again given an hour before the procedure, and after having continuous with regular interval of contractions the doctor told her that though the baby was still on preterm (33 weeks AOG) she needed to undergo STAT primary CS by 9:00PM.

Health Perception-Health Management Pattern Prior to confinement and during pregnancy, Mrs. DC described her general health as ok lang naman, as verbalized by the client. She seldom gets colds, fever or flu. She regularly takes vitamin C supplement and eats a lot of citrus fruits. The client has never been absent from work even when shes not feeling well. Kaya ko namang magtrabaho kahit masama pakiramdam ko kasi hindi naman ganon kalala ang sakit ko, as verbalized by the client. She performs simple cardio exercises like walking and she strictly follows the diet ordered by her doctor to keep her healthy. If the clients not feeling well, she increases her oral fluid intake, takes paracetamol alone as her immediate drug regimen. If paracetamol is not effective, she immediately consults her physician. She has been a smoker for 15 years but stopped by the time she learned that she was pregnant. She drinks approximately 5 to 6 bottles of alcoholic beverages 4 times a month when she was not yet pregnant. The client is not taking any prohibited drugs. She usually performs self-breast examination and is aware of its importance. She only had a minor injury when she was a child (fell from the stairs) and was never involved in a major accident. She thinks that her UTI had caused her condition (PPROM), though she immediately sought help from her physician, she thinks that her actions were too late.

During confinement, she does not feel body weakness and she is still active, she can still perform activities of daily living, she does walking exercises inside her room and she thinks that her health will be better than before she got pregnant because she can now eat what she want and there are no more diet restrictions for her. She also said that by the time her wound heals she will immediately return to her vigorous exercises and will engage on heavier weight lifting like before.

B. Nutritional Metabolic Pattern Prior to confinement, the clients diet consist of the following: high in protein, high in fiber, low carbohydrates and use of soy milk instead of full cream milk. She had diet restrictions like avoidance of foods rich in fats and sugars because she was prevented from gaining too much weight.The client eats vegetable salad during snack time. Shes taking the following

supplements: Fern C, 500mg (daily), Augmentin, Cal-Mag, and Amino 1000 (daily; since pregnancy). The clients daily fluid intake is approximately 3150mL daily. She gained weight (20 lbs) during pregnancy from 134lbs to 154lbs (weight before delivery). The client has a good appetite. The client eats at least 5 times a day in small portions since she gets full easily. Onte lang kinakaen ko, kasi mabilis ako mabusog pero mayat maya na lang ako may nginunguya as verbalized by Mrs. DC. They do not have a family history of diabetes. She would rarely have skin rashes and has an allergy which is triggered by eating sea foods that are not fresh. Upon admission to the delivery room, the client was ordered to a NPO diet for pre surgical preparation for administration of anesthesia. She had an intravenous fluid line connected to her left metacarpal vein. The clients NPO diet was shifted to clear liquids, general liquids diet on August 13, 2010. At 07:00PM of the same day, she was shifted from clear, general liquids diet to soft diet. At August 15, 2010 her diet was shifted from soft diet to diet as tolerated and her intravenous fluid was discontinued. At present, Mrs. DC is really glad that she is now on DAT. She told us that her appetite will surely increase since she can now eat the foods that were restricted to her before like chocolates but her meal would usually consist of meat and vegetables. She does not have eating problems. She can consume a total of 1,500mL of oral fluid intake daily. She had lost weight (5 lbs), from 154lbs. (before delivery) to 149lbs. (present). C. Elimination Pattern Prior to admission, the client consumes approximately 3150mL of fluids (water, milk and juices) per day. The client urinates at least four 4 times when shes working in the office and at least 5 times at home. She defecates twice a day with characteristics of well formed, brown stool. The client does not use any laxative and she eats foods that are high in fiber. She does not experience any difficulty when urinating or defecating. She only had urination problems when she had a UTI. She described having a painful and frequent urination wherein sometimes she had the urge to urinate but nothing comes out, she also had abdominal pain which is associated to this infection. That time she rated 7/10 for her pain scale. Based on the clients observation, she perspires excessively when shes not able to exercise. Upon admission at the delivery room, a foley catheter was inserted to the client and was removed the following day on August 13, 2010. On the same day, the client had a positive flatus and negative bowel movement. The physician ordered for a rectal suppository (Dulcolax) to be administered to the client. By 07:00PM of August 16, 2010, the client had a positive bowel movement. The client would normally have a urine output of 600 to 1000mL and defecates at least once or twice during our shift (2:00-10:00PM). D. Activity-Exercise Pattern During the clients pregnancy (before admission), she stated that her energy to do required activities is not enough; parang kulang pero pinipilit ko na lang gawin ang trabaho, as verbalized. She performs exercises like walking for approximately 1 hour and weight lifting (5-10lbs dumbbells) just to prevent sagging of her muscle after giving birth to her first child. She does this for at least 3 times a week. She lives an active lifestyle and allocates her spare time on reading and writing (still work related activities) and sometimes she goes out with her husband to watch movies or go shopping. Perceived ability for: 0 Feeding 0 Dressing 0 Cooking 0 Bathing 0 Grooming

0 Shopping 0 Toileting 0 General Mobility 0 Home Maintenance 0 Bed Mobility

During her confinement, the client stated; sa tingin ko mas may energy ako ngayon kasi mas nakakapahinga ako since andito lang naman ako sa hospital, wala ako masyado ginagawa, nakakapagod lang magpa-breast-pump. She is not physically active since she had just undergone an operation and she would immediately feel pain when exerting pressure (coughing and laughing) to her incision site. Her usual activities in the hospital are walking, reading, watching TV, visiting her baby at the NICU and breast-pumping. After surgery, her demonstrated ability were:

0 Feeding 0 Dressing 0 Bathing 0 Grooming

0 Toileting 0 General Mobility 0 Bed Mobility

Functional Level Codes: Level 0: Full self care Level I: Requires use of equipments or device Level II: Requires assistance/ supervision from other person. Level III: Requires assistance/ supervision from other person and equipments or device.

E. Sleep-Rest Pattern Prior to confinement, the client sleeps at least 6 to 12 hours during weekends and 6 to 8 hours during weekdays. She would usually be on bed by 11:00PM and wakes up by 9:00 or 10:00AM on weekends and by 6:00 or 8:00AM on weekdays. The client takes naps during weekends for at least 2 hours. She does not have any sleeping problem. She only wakes up at night for elimination purposes (urinating/defecating) and does not have problems going back to sleep. Her usual preparation before bedtime are drinking soy milk, taking a warm bath and applying coco butter on skin to prevent having stretch marks. The client does not have nightmares and feels well-rested most of the time. She feels lazy though, to rise up in the morning during rainy days Pakiramdam ko kulang tulog ko kapag umuulan, as verbalized by the client. During admission, the clients sleep rest pattern varies since she does not have a schedule to follow. She can sleep and wake-up anytime she wants. But she assures that she gets at least 8 hours of sleep and she feels well rested after having sleep. She does not have any difficulty in sleeping, and whenever shes interrupted, shes able to go back to sleep immediately. F. Cognitive Perception Pattern Prior to admission, the client uses contact lenses with a grade of 475 (left eye) - 450 (right eye). She is near sighted and was diagnosed to have astigmatism. She does not have any hearing difficulties. When it comes to decision making, the client would usually consult her husband. The client learns technical matters by demonstration, while other things through either or both by demonstration and by simply following procedures. She easily learns things that interest her and has difficulty with those that do not which are usually required for her to learn. She noticed during her pregnancy that her mental ability decreased, Mahina ako makapick up ng ideas nung buntis ako, as verbalized by Mrs. DC. During confinement, the client asked her OB-Gyne if hindi po ba ako mabobobo sa anesthesia. She observed that, few days ago after her STAT CS delivery, she was a little bit slow with grasping ideas than before but during the interview she stated that, Ngayon naman bumabalik na ulit yung mabilis kong pag grasp ng ideas pero marami pa akong mga simpleng bagay na hindi alam gawin tulad ng pagpapaligo kay baby, she added. G. Self Perception Pattern Prior to confinement, the client described herself as competitive and sees herself more as a pessimist than an optimist. I expect the worse to happen, as verbalized by Mrs. DC. She usually feels good about herself and stated that, Mas masiyahin ako nung buntis ako. The client is irritable when shes hungry and always craves for chocolates but restricted herself from eating since she needed to maintain her weight to stay healthy during pregnancy. One thing that annoys me, is my boss, she said while laughing. She had been a positive thinker with regards to her pregnancy and hoped that she and her baby would always be in good condition. During admission, according to the patient, she remained the same and still thinks positive about the situation of her newborn baby boy who is premature. The client and her husband still cant perceive themselves as parents because their newborn baby boy was still inside an incubator in the NICU for further nourishment. Even though she still cant feel that

shes already a mother, she goes over the internet to search for information about the how tos of parenting and newborn care, and asks the nurses of the NICU and her Pediatrician for further details. And the thing that she wants to change for herself right now is to lose weight and return from her lean figure again. The client and her husband keep themselves well informed and knowledgeable about parenting and effective newborn care. H. Role-Relationship Pattern Prior to admission, the client and her husband lives in a patrilocality. They have an extended family. According to the client, she is still the bread winner of her family and she still supports them by giving a portion of her salary. As a soon-to-be mom, she and her husband already bought some basic material needs for their baby. They have prepared a room for him and inquired about providing neonatal care beforehand, and proper parenting. At present, there has been no change with the clients role in her family. Even if she is a mother now, she will still support her family. When her husband learned of the incident (PROM), he verbalized Wala lang, normal lang, I was working kasi when it happened but I was a little disappointed when I learned that the baby was inside an incubator. Even though the client had been in contact with their newborn baby boy, they cant still feel the pressure of being parents. The client said, we still cant feel the pressure of becoming mom and dad because hes (baby boy) not yet with us, so parang hindi pa kami ganon na kaexcited kasi wala pa talga siya dito na kasama namin. She now includes her child in their future plans: They are preparing for their babys education, and a house of their own (separated from her husbands parents). I. Sexuality-Reproductive Pattern Mrs. DC had her menarche at the age of 11y/o, presenting in a heavy character. She can consume 4 to 5 pads per day with 7 days duration. She usually experiences dysmenorrhea on the first to second day of her menstruation. Shes been having irregular menstrual period, and after seeking consultation, she was given pills to make her menstrual cycle regular. She was diagnosed of having polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) on her right ovary last 2001 and was treated with pills prescribed to her (cannot recall medications). Her LMP was on Dec. 23, 2009; G1P1. Regarding her sexual relationship, the client verbalized Ok lang naman, Good. They prefer using contraceptives pills than condoms. They tried it (condom) once but the couple did not find it satisfying. The client describes her sexual relationship as satisfying.

J. Coping Stress Tolerance According to Mrs. DC, there has been a significant change in her life the fact that shes going to enter motherhood very soon. She does not have any conflict with her family or friends and if ever she would encounter one, she will not let the day end without getting solution for the problem. Whenever shes having a life crisis, she always finds comfort from her husband and she always consults him first for decision making. She is not taking any drugs or is not drinking alcohol just to solve her problem. She said that before, she tends to smoke a lot when shes in a stressful situation. She can consume 10 sticks per day and would even increase when she is stressed. But since she stopped smoking when she realized shes pregnant, her coping mechanism is drinking avocado shake. Her husband had also been very supportive and caring for her during her pregnancy and until now. She is having worries and anxieties at the moment related to the condition of her child and what might happen. Mrs. DC said, nagaalala lang ako kung magiging mabuting mommy ba ako. Marami pa akong mga simpleng bagay na hindi alam gawin tulad ng pagpapaligo kay baby, medyo natatakot ako baka mapano sya. She admits that she is more worried right now than before and she wanted to get home soon because shes getting bored inside the hospital but shes also sad that their child cant come with them. K. Value-Beliefs Pattern According to Mrs. DC, their religion is important in their life, she believes that God will always be there to for them but she does not leave everything to Him. Naniniwala akong andyan lang Siya lagi, pero may kasabihan ngang nasa Diyos ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa. It has been their family practice to go to mass during Sundays. She is a Roman Catholic and as a devotee, she believes that with a strong faith, love and trust with the Lord, she will be able to cope with her problems or challenges that may come. God can keep her strong. She also said that: No matter how shitty things are, if you have faith, things will work out. She has her own principles in life which she follows. Even she is a lawyer, she said that sometimes you have to break the rules in order to do what is best for you and for your family. She said that rules are rules and principles are principles. During confinement, her hospitalization did not affect her spiritual life. She is still able to pray, the only thing that changed is that she failed to go to Mass last Sunday because she was

confined. Her faith grows even stronger, she believes in Gods power that her child would survive and would live normally.
