INTRODUCTION

This is the case of Ms. HY, 35 years old, from Capalangan, Apalit, Pampanga. She was born on January 31, 1979. She is a high school graduate and her religion is Roman
Catholic. She was married and living with her husband for 6 years now. They already have 2 children. Her first child was delivered via normal spontaneous delivery and her
second child was delivered through cesarean section due to prolonged labor. According to her, her LMP was last April 4,2010. She had cesarean section last January 20, 2011 at
exactly 2:15 am in BMCH with initial diagnosis of G2P1 (1001), PU 41 wks AOG. Her menarche started when she was 15years old and it usually lasts for 3 days. According to
her she can consume 2 to 3 pads per day and sometimes she experiences dysmenorrhea. She usually drink softdrinks and eat sour fruits to relief the pain of her dysmenorrhea. She
is GTPAL and never experience difficulty in conceiving. According to her, she doesn’t have allergy to any food and drug. She told us that whenever she have a typical sickness
like flu, colds and cough, she do not go to see a doctor instead, she will take a drug of her choice which she believes can help her to feel good. She takes herbal supplements which
she believes can help her become healthier. She was brought to the hospital last January 19 due to the labor pains. After 22 hours of prolonged labor, the doctors decided that she
needs to undergo cesarean section.

Cesarean section is a surgery to deliver a baby. The baby is taken out of the mother’s abdomen. Most C-section are done when unexpected problems happen during
delivery. These include health problem, the position of the baby, not enough room for the baby to go through the vagina and signs of distress in the baby. C-sections are most
common among women carrying more than one baby. The surgery is relatively safe for mother and the baby. Still, it is major surgery and carries risks. It also takes longer to
recover to C-section than from vaginal birth. After healing, the incision may leave a weak spot in the wall of the uterus. This could cause problems with an attempted vaginal birth
later. However, more than half of women who have cesarean section can give vaginal birth later.

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that no region in the world is justified in having a cesarean rate greater than 10 to 15 percent. A cesarean section poses
documented medical risks to the mother's health, including infections, hemorrhage, transfusion, injury to other organs, anesthesia complications, psychological complications, and
a maternal mortality two to four times greater than that for a vaginal birth. An elective cesarean section increases the risk to the infant of premature birth and respiratory distress
syndrome, both of which are associated with multiple complications, intensive care and burdensome financial costs. Even mature babies, the absences of labor increases the risk of
breathing problems and other complications.

Cesarean section is one of the life saving emergency obstetric care when complications occur during childbirth. According to the survey in 2003, 7% of births were
delivered via C-section in total. C-section rate was higher in urban areas than in rural areas by approximately 2-fold.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE:

The main purpose of this case is for us to understand the process of Cesarean Section Delivery. This may also help us to know the difference of C-section Delivery to Normal
Spontaneous Delivery. Thorough Nursing Health History, Physical Assessment were obtained to render appropriate nursing intervention.

KNOWLEDGE:

1. To know the different kinds of delivery and understand the physiologic changes that a pregnant woman has to go through, from pregnancy to surgical procedures up to the
delivery of the baby.
2. To be able to learn the steps in the care for a post operation mother.
3. To be able to use our critical thinking in assessing the patient’s condition and interpreting the cues and datas gathered with appropriate nursing care management

SKILLS:

1. To apply the knowledge we obtained from our Related Learning Experience to an actual hospital setting with an actual patient.
2. To formulate appropriate nursing care plans applicable to the patient’s condition and render an effective nursing intervention.
3. To be able to establish rapport with the patient and understand the condition she went through and share some of the knowledge that were obtained from academe that will be
beneficial to the patient’s general condition and promote wellness.

ATTITUDE:

1. To be able to appreciate the essence of being a woman.

2. To establish an effective nurse-patient relationship.
3. To show respect to and provide emotional support to the client.

in the past and she had her first hospitalization when she delivered her 1st baby via NSD. During her first childbirth, she had undergone episiotomy.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:

The patient was admitted in the hospital at 2:15 am of January 20, 2011. She is Ms. H.Y. a 34 year old gravida 2 para 1 (1001) and her last menstrual period was on the 4th
of April, year of 2010. Prior to hospitalization, the patient felt that it was the time of her delivery because of painful uterine contractions felt first in lower back & sweep around to
the abdomen in a wave so she immediately asked her husband to bring her to the hospital.

Ms. H.Y. admitted that her present pregnancy was expected. The client told us that she only had 2 instances of prenatal check up at the third trimester of her pregnancy
because of being lazy and because she has no available times to do it. She noticed during her pregnancy that her appetite had change. She also experienced nausea and vomiting
during on the second and third month of her pregnancy, an increased urge to void, mild to severe back ache, fatigue and shortness of breath.

At the time of delivery, she rated the severity of pain on a scale of 1-10 (1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest), as 10. She presumed that the anesthetic given to her will help
in the labor process. During the labor process, the patient is referred to the Operating Room. The patient delivered her baby boy via primary low segment caesarian section due to
prolonged second stage of labor and failure of descent with the APGAR score of 8, birth weight of 3.4 Kg.

After the delivery, the patient experienced pain and discomfort at her lower abdomen due to surgical incision made by her physician. She was referred to her ward for her to
be comfortable and for her fast recovery.

Our patient kept on complaining about the pain. She had difficulty to sit, stand and walk beside her bed. She rated pain at 6. (1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest).

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY:
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

FEMALE EXTERNAL STRUCTURES

The structures the female external genitalia are termed the vulva (from the Latin word of covering)

Vulva- is the external genital organs of the female.

Mons Veneris- the mons veneris is a pad of adipose tissue located over the symphysis pubis, the pubic bone joint. It is covered by a triangle of course, curly hairs. The purpose of
the mons veneris is to protect the junction of the pubic bone from trauma.

Labia Minora- Just posterior to the mons veneris spread two hairless folds of connective tissue, the labia minora. Before menarche, these folds are fairly small; after menopause,
they atrophy and again become much smaller. The area is abundant with sebaceous glands, so localized sebaceous cyst may occur here.

Labia Majora- The labia majora are two folds of adipose tissue covered by loose connective tissue and epithelium that are positioned lateral to the labia minora. Covered by pubic
hair, the labia majora serve as protection for the external genitalia and distal urethra and vagina.

Vestibule- is the flattened, smooth surface inside the labia. The openings to the bladder (the urethra) and the uterus (the vagina) both arise from the vestibule.

Clitoris- is a small (approximately 1-2 cm), rounded organ of erectile tissue at the forward junction of the labia minora. It is covered by a fold of skin, the prepuce. The clitoris is
sensitive to touch and temperature and is the center of sexual arousal and orgasm in a woman. Arterial blood supply for the clitoris is plentiful.

2 Skene’s glands (paraurethral glands) - are located just lateral to the urinary meatus, one on each side. There ducts open to the urethra.

Perineum- a region of the body including the perineal body and the surrounding structures.

Bartholin’s glands (vulvovaginal glands) – are located just lateral to the vaginal opening on both sides. There ducts open to the distal vagina. Secretions from both of these
glands help to lubricate the external genitalia during coitus. The alkaline pH of their secretions helps to improve sperm survival into the vagina.

Fourchette- is the ridge of tissue formed by the posterior joining of the two labia minora and the labia majora. This is the structure that is sometimes cut (episiotomy) during
childbirth to allow for enlargement of the vaginal opening.
Perineal muscle/ perineal body- is a muscular area; is easily stretched during childbirth to allow for enlargement of the vagina and passage of the fetal head.

Hymen-is a tough but elastic semicircle of tissue that covers the opening to the vagina in childhood. It is often torn during the first sexual intercourse

pg. 18
FEMALE INTERNAL STRUCTURES

Ovaries- approximately 4 cm long by 2 cm in diameter and approximately 1.5 cm thick, or the size and shape of almonds. They are grayish white and appear pitted or with minute
indentations on the surface. An unruptured, glistening, clear, fluid-filled graafian follicle (an ovum about to be discharged) or a miniature yellow corpus luteum (the structure left
behind after the ovum has been discharged) often can be observed on the surface of the ovary.

Fallopian tubes- arise from each upper corner of the uterine body and extend outward and backward until each opens at its distal end, next to an ovary; approximately 10 cm long
in mature woman. Their function is to convey the ovum from the ovaries to the uterus and to provide a place for fertilization of the ovum by the sperm.

Uterus- is a hollow, muscular, pear-shaped organ located in the lower pelvis, posterior to the bladder and anterior to the rectum; consists of 3 divisions: the body or corpus, the
isthmus and the cervix

Body of the uterus- the uppermost part and forms the bulk of the organ.

Fundus- portion of the uterus between the points of attachment of the fallopian tubes.

Isthmus- is a short segment between the body and the cervix.

Cervix- is lowest portion of the uterus. It represents approximately one third of the total uterus size and is approximately 2-5 cm long. Approximately
half of it lies above the vagina and half extends into the vagina.

Endometrium- layer of the uterus is the one that is important for menstrual function.

Endocervix- membrane lining the cervix; continues with the endometrium, is also affected by hormones; secrete mucus to provide a lubricated surface so that spermatozoa can
readily pass through the cervix.

Myometrium- or muscle layer of the uterus, is composed of 3 interwoven layers of smooth muscle, the fibers of which are arranged in longitudinal, transverse, and oblique
directions; serves an important function of constricting the tubal junctions and preventing regurgitation of menstrual blood into the tubes.

Fimbrae- finger like part or structure, as the opening of the fallopian tubes.

Corpus luteum- “yellow body”; is a temporary endocrine structure in mammals, involved in production of estrogen and progesterone, which is needed to maintain the
endometrium. It is colored as a result of concentrating carotenoids from the diet.

pg. 20
 BREAST

Breast- located anterior to the pectoral muscle and in many women breast tissue extends well into the axilla; is the upper ventral region of the torso of a primate, in left or right
sides, which in a female contain the mammary gland that secretes milk used to feed infants.

Milk glands- are divided by connective tissue partitions into approximately 20 lobes. All of the glands in each lobe produce milk by acinar cells and deliver it to the nipple via a
lactiferous duct.

Areola- the skin surrounding the nipples that are darkly pigmented out to approximately 4 cm

Montgomery’s tubercle- sebaceous glands causing the areola to appear rough.

Milk Ducts- a small, tube-shaped part of the body that carries fluids, such as tears, bile, and breast milk.

GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

pg. 22
 GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

Abdomen- The part of the body that lies between the thorax and the pelvis and encloses the stomach, intestines, liver, spleen, and pancreas also called belly.

Mouth- The body opening through which an animal takes in food; the cavity lying at the upper end of the alimentary canal, bounded on the outside by the lips and inside by the
oropharynx and containing in higher vertebrates the tongue, gums, and teeth; this cavity regarded as the source of sounds and speech; the opening to any cavity or canal in an organ
or a bodily part.

Tongue- The fleshy, movable, muscular organ attached in most vertebrates to the floor of the mouth, that is the principal organ of taste, an aid in chewing and swallowing, and, in
humans, an important organ of speech.

Pharynx- The section of the alimentary canal that extends from the mouth and nasal cavities to the larynx, where it becomes continuous with the esophagus.

Esophagus- The muscular membranous tube for the passage of food from the pharynx to the stomach; the gullet.

Pancreas- A long, irregularly shaped gland in vertebrates, lying behind the stomach that secretes pancreatic juice into the duodenum and insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin into
the bloodstream.

Liver- A large, reddish-brown, glandular vertebrate organ located in the upper right portion of the abdominal cavity that secretes bile and is active in the formation of certain
blood proteins and in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Gallbladder- is a hollow system that sits just beneath the liver.[2]In adults, the gallbladder measures approximately 8 cm in length and 4 cm in diameter when fully distended.[3] It is
divided into three sections: fundus, body and neck. The neck tapers and connects to the biliary tree via the cystic duct, which then joins the common hepatic duct to become
the common bile duct.

Duodenum- is the first section of the small intestine. In mammals the duodenum may be the principal site for iron absorption.

Ascending colon- is smaller in caliber than the cecum: It passes upward, from its commencement at the cecum, opposite the colic valve, to the under surface of the right lobe of
the liver, on the right of the gall-bladder, where it is lodged in a shallow depression, the colic impression; here it bends abruptly forward and to the left, forming the right colic
flexure (hepatic).

Appendix- In human anatomy, the appendix (or vermiform appendix; also cecal (or caecal) appendix; also vermix) is a blind-ended tube connected to the cecum (or caecum), from
which it develops embryologically.

Ileum- is the final section of the small intestine.

pg. 23
Transverse colon- the longest and most movable part of the colon, passes with a downward convexity from the right hypochondrium region across the abdomen, opposite the
confines of the epigastric and umbilical zones, into the left hypochondrium region, where it curves sharply on itself beneath the lower end of the spleen, forming the splenic or left
colic flexure. The right colic flexure is adjacent to the liver.

Descending colon- passes downward through the left hypochondrium and lumbar regions, along the lateral border of the left kidney.

Jejunum- lies between the duodenum and the ileum. The change from the duodenum to the jejunum is usually defined as the ligament of Treitz.

Sigmoid colon- is the part of the large intestine that is closest to the rectum and anus. It forms a loop that averages about 40 cm. in length, and normally lies within the pelvis, but
on account of its freedom of movement it is liable to be displaced into the abdominal cavity.

Rectum- (from the Latin rectum intestinum, meaning straight intestine) is the final straight portion of the large intestine in some mammals, and the gut in others, terminating in
the anus. The human rectum is about 12 cm long. Its caliber is similar to that of the sigmoid colon at its commencement, but it is dilated near its termination, forming the rectal
ampulla.

Anus- is an opening at the opposite end of an animal's digestive tract from the mouth. Its function is to control the expulsion of feces, unwanted semi-solid matter produced during
digestion, which, depending on the type of animal, may be one or more of: matter which the animal cannot digest, such as bones; food material after all the nutrients have been
extracted, for example cellulose or lignin; ingested matter which would be toxic if it remained in the digestive tract; and dead or excess gut bacteria and other endosymbionts.

 FEMALE PELVIS

Pubic Symphysis- is the midline cartilaginous joint (secondary cartilaginous) uniting the superior rami of the left and right pubic bones. It is located anterior to the urinary
bladder and superior to the external genitalia; for females it is above the vulva and for males it is above the penis. In males, the suspensory ligament of the penis attaches to the
pubic symphysis. In females, the pubic symphysis is intimately close to the clitoris. In normal adults it can be moved roughly 2 mm and with 1 degree rotation. This increases for
women at the time of child birth.

Ischial Spine- a thin pointed triangular eminence that projects from the dorsal border of the ischium and gives attachment to the gemellus superior on its external surface and to the
coccygeus, levator ani, and pelvic fascia on its internal surface.

Iliopubic eminence- is a broad, shallow groove, over which the iliacus and psoas major muscles pass; marks the point of union of the ilium and pubis.

Sacroiliac joint- sacroiliac joint or SI joint is the joint in the bony pelvis between the sacrum and the ilium of the pelvis, which are joined together by strong ligaments. In humans,
the sacrum supports the spine and is supported in turn by an ilium on each side. The joint is a strong, weight bearing synovial joint with irregular elevations and depressions that
produce interlocking of the two bones. The human body has two sacroiliac joints, one on the left and one on the right that often match each other but are highly variable from
person to person.

Sacral Promontory- sacral promontory is the anatomical term for the superior most portion of the sacrum. It marks part of the border of the pelvic inlet. The rectosigmoid junction is at the level
of the sacral promontory.

Ischial Tuberosity- is a swollen part or broadening of the bone in the frontal portion of the ischium, the lowest of the three major bones that make up each half of the
pelvis.

Anatomy and Physiology

Description:

a. Primary Follicle- an immature ovarian follicle.

b. Growing follicle
1. Egg cell- the female reproductive cell; the female gamete
2. Follicular cells- an epithelial cell lining follicle such as that of the thyroid.
c. Mature Follicle
1. Follicular fluid- is a liquid which fills the follicular antrum and surrounds the ovum in an ovarian follicle
d. Ovulation- the discharge of an ovum from the ovary. The phase of the monthly female cycle when a developed egg is released from ovary in the fallopian tube for possible
fertilization. Ovulation is when an egg released from the ovary and is swept into the fallopian tube toward the uterus.
e. Empty follicle- oocytes are absent from stimulated follicles
f. Corpus Luteum- a yellow grandular mass in the ovary, formed by an ovarian follicle that has matured and discharged its oocytes.
g. Ovarian follicles- are the basic units of the female reproductive biology, each of which is compose of roughly spherical aggregation of cells found in the ovary. They
contain single oocytes. This structure are periodically initiated to grow and develop and culminating in ovulation of usually a single competent oocytes in human.
h. Graafian Follicle- a small sac, embedded in the ovary that encloses an ovum. At sexual maturity each ovary has large numbers of immature follicles, each of which contains
an undeveloped egg cell. This structure is called primodial or primitive follicles.

Breast

a. Mammary Gland- secretes milk for the nourishment of the young

b. Lactiferous ducts- a specialized gland of the female which secretes milk
c. Nipple- the small conical projection in the center of the areola of each breast, which in women contains the outlet of milk ducts
d. Areola- small circular area such as pigmented ring around the nipple.

Uterus

a. Fundus- the part of the uterus above the orifices of the uterine tube
b. Body of the Uterus
c. Isthmus of the Uterus- the constricted part of the uterus between the cervix and the body of the uterus
d. Endometrium- The endometrium function as lining of the uterus preventing adhesion between the opposed walls of the myometrium, hereby maintaining the patency of the
uterine cavity.
e. Myometrium- the smooth muscle forming the wall of the uterus

pg. 27
 f. Broad Ligament of the uterus- is a wide fold of the peritoneum that connects the sides of the uterus to the walls and floor of the pelvis

Types of Ligaments:

Mesometrium- the mesentery of the uterus; the largest portion of the broad ligament

Mesosalpinx- the part tat surrounds the uterine tube

Mesovarium- the part that surrounds the ovary

g. Uterine vessels- Either of two veins on each side that arise from the uterine plexus, pass through a part of broad ligament and through a peritoneal fold and empty to the
hypogastric vein.
h. Uterine tube- a slender tube extending from the uterus toward the ovary on the same side, for passage of oocytes to the cavity of the uterus and the usual site of
fertilization.

 Physical assessment
Physical examination follows a methodical head to toe format in the cephalocaudal assessment. This is done systematically using the techniques of inspection, palpation,
percussion and auscultation with the use of materials and investment of such as the penlight, thermometer, sphygmomanometer, tape measure and stetoscope and also the senses.
During the procedure, we made every effort to recognize and respect the patient’s felling as well as to provide comfort measures and follow appropriate safety precautions.

SURGICAL MANAGEMENT

A cesarean section is a surgical procedure in which one or more incisions are made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus
(hysterectomy) to deliver one or more babies, or, rarely, to remove a dead fetus. A late-term abortion using Caesarean section procedures is termed a hysterectomy abortion and is
very rarely performed. A Caesarean section is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life or health at risk, although in recent times it has been
also performed upon request for childbirths that could otherwise have been natural. It is performed whenever abnormal conditions complicate labor and vaginal delivery,
threatening the life or health of the mother or the baby.

pg. 53
 Regional anesthesia, either a spinal or epidural, is the preferred method of pain relief during a c-section. The benefits of regional anesthesia include
allowing the mother to be awake during the surgery, avoiding the risks of general anesthesia, and allowing early contact between mother and child. Spinal anesthesia involves
inserting a needle into a region between the vertebrae of the lower back and injecting numbing medications. An epidural is similar to a spinal except that a catheter is inserted so
that numbing medications may be administered continuously. Some women experience a drop in blood pressure when a regional anesthetic is administered; this can be countered
with fluids and/or medications. Once the patient has received anesthesia, the abdomen is washed with an antibacterial solution and a portion of the pubic hair may be shaved. The
first incision opens the abdomen. Infrequently, it will be vertical from just below the navel to the top of the pubic bone or, more commonly, it will be a horizontal incision across
and above the pubic bone (informally called a "bikini cut").

The second incision opens the uterus. In most cases, a transverse incision is made. The classical incision is vertical. Because it provides a larger
opening than a low transverse incision, it is used in the most critical situations such as placenta previa. However, the classic incision causes more bleeding, a greater risk of
abdominal infection, and a weaker scar.

Once the uterus is opened, the amniotic sac is ruptured and the baby is delivered. The time from the initial incision to birth is typically five minutes.
The umbilical cord is clamped and cut, and the newborn is evaluated. The placenta is removed from the mother, and her uterus and abdomen are stitched closed (surgical staples
may be used instead in closing the outermost layer of the abdominal incision). From birth through suturing may take 30–40 minutes; the entire surgical procedure may be
performed in less than one hour.

Conclusion:

After we studied the case, we understood the process of cesarean section delivery. It helps us to know the differences of C- Section to normal spontaneous delivery.
Through nursing health history, physical assessment was obtained to render appropriate nursing intervention. We use our critical thinking in assessing the patient’s condition using
the knowledge that we obtained in our Related Learning Experience, which we also apply in the hospital. In formulating appropriate nursing care plans that are applicable to the
patient’s condition and rendering an effective nursing intervention. It is also important to establish rapport. As a woman we need to appreciate the essence of it. We need to respect
our patient and giving them an emotional support in times of need.

Being able to have a case study that is concerned with cesarean section, we learned a lot of things beyond what we already know. We discovered a lot of new informations on how
the C-section happens and the factor that is concerned with it. We learned how to appreciate the effort of the mother just to deliver her baby. Experiences like this help student
nurses like us to grow as a person and to gain more respect to mothers who do their best to deliver their babies alive.
