Week three wrapping up

Image
This week wasn't too bad. I had 12 assingments. Three were quizes that were pretty easy and three were conferences. I also have two discussion boards.

Refective Journal Entry 1

This particular placenta left some trailing membranes.  I did not know that there was a higher risk of bleeding so pitocin was offered by the lead midwife.  It was declined and watch and see plan was created.  I became curious about trailing membranes, so here I am learning as much as I can. Varney's has very little info on trailing membranes, it basically says that there has been no evidence to support that trailing membranes cause more bleeding (King et al., 2018).  This is the only info I could really find.  I searched OVID and Google Scholar and then gave in to p...
