Abstract

Pre-eclampsia, which is characterized by maternal hypertension, proteinuria, hypoperfusion of end organs and a systemic maternal innate inflammatory response, is a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity world-wide. When of early-onset, pre-eclampsia is associated with fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). IUGR can occur in isolation, so-called normotensive IUGR. What is poorly understood is that some women develop the maternal syndrome of pre-eclampsia whilst others have only the fetal syndrome (normotensive IUGR), despite the fact that the initiating event in both is believed to be reduced uteroplacental perfusion.

Abstract

This guide provides a framework for competency-based education for perinatal nurses. It is adaptable to many perinatal nursing specialties and settings and provides practical information and tools to enable nurses to take charge of their orientation, ongoing education and continuing professional development. This comprehensive resource will help with orientation planning as well as the implementation of staff development programs. Perinatal competencies are articulated in the form of a CAPE tool (Competence Assessment, Planning and Evaluation) for basic, advanced and complex levels.
