Week 1:

Preparing oneself for Prepartum exposure

1. What are my mental, physical, emotional, social, preparations?

For this rotation I asked my close friends on what should I prepare to become an
effective student nurse. For mental preparations, I reviewed our lessons about
prepartum, antepartum and postpartum to help me in delivering care to my clients.
Assessing the client, Performing leopold's maneuver, and giving health teachings to
improve the quality of life of a pregnant woman is a must. Presence of mind is also
one thing that I will practice in whatever situations I may face in the future. I am
also physically prepared to have adventures in finding cases in each barangays in
Leganes. Walking in the middle of the field while the scorching heat of the sun.
Emotionally, I need to be a nurse that is effective

I have this anxiety during duty that I think too much on things that might go wrong, that’s
why prepare myself and learn in advance the things that I can partake to the client
so that I can comply with their needs like health teaching and ideas needed for
prepartum. I prayed in order for me to keep calm an di also asked for the help of my
mother in order for me to be comforted. I have prepared myself holistically to be
effective in the things that I do during this rotation.
