The student will:

1. Identify a postpartum woman who agrees to tell her birth story.

8. From the nursing perspective, analyze and explain labor and birth. Fill in the gaps. What was the woman feeling at each point in the story? What were her expectations? Did she have a lack of understanding? Who were her supports? Did they meet her expectations? Did she experience trust, joy, fear or disappointment? Develop a minimum of 3 nursing diagnoses based on her story. What priority nursing interventions would you expect to implement during the unfolding of this story? When? Why? If you were her nurse, what would you have done differently?

9. Using your resources, complete a medical analysis of this woman's birth story. Describe in medical language the progress of the story from start to finish and explain each medical intervention, indications, risks, benefits. This section should read like the medical notes in a patient chart.

10. Write a reflective journal entry on this assignment. What did you expect going in? What did you find? What did you learn? Can you identify places in the story where the nurse and/or doctor had an impact on the outcome? In what way? How do you feel about this labor and birth? What impact will this have on your nursing practice? This section is your voice. What did you learn?
