SUBCOURSE MD0584
OBSTETRICS/PEDIATRICS
INTRODUCTION
The birth of a child is usually a wonderful and exciting event. Despite the
occasional magazine or newspaper article extolling the virtues of having a child at home
with an experienced midwife in attendance, we are still generally conditioned to having
the baby in a hospital complete with attending physician. Sometimes, however, the
baby decides to be born before the mother can get to the hospital. In such a case, you
may be called upon to assist in the birth. Birth is a natural process with the mother
doing the delivering and someone else, perhaps you, assisting in the delivery. Also, as
much as children are wanted, there are times when some adults lose control and abuse
a child. You need to know something about child abuse in case you find yourself
examining a child you suspect has been abused.
This subcourse deals with childbirth outside a medical treatment facility, pediatric
emergencies, and child abuse. A lesson on the female and male reproductive systems
is included to allow you to review these systems. Your attention to learning the material
given in this subcourse will prepare you to deal with situations involving childbirth and
children.
Subcourse Components
:
The subcourse instructional material consists of four lessons as follows:
Lesson 2, Normal and Emergency Childbirth.
Lesson 3, Pediatric Emergencies.
Lesson 4, Child Abuse.
Here are some suggestions that may be helpful to you in completing this
subcourse:
--Read and study each lesson carefully.
--Complete the subcourse lesson by lesson. After completing each lesson, work
the exercises at the end of the lesson, marking your answers in this booklet.
--After completing each set of lesson exercises, compare your answers with those
on the solution sheet that follows the exercises. If you have answered an exercise
incorrectly, check the reference cited after the answer on the solution sheet to
determine why your response was not the correct one.
