Title: Critical Care for the Mother and Fetus with a Rare Condition: A Case Study of a Mother with a Molar Pregnancy Co-Existing with a Live Fetus
Discipline: Women’s Health (WH), Professional Issues (PI), Newborn (NB), Childbearing (CB), Advanced Practice (AP)
Learning Objectives:
Submission Description:- Institute appropriate nursing interventions for the mother identified with a molar pregnancy with a co-existing live fetus.
- Identify the complications associated with a mother with a molar pregnancy.
- Review the follow-up care for the patient with a molar pregnancy.
The purpose of the poster is to present a case study of a patient with a molar pregnancy and a co-existing live twin fetus. Because this rare condition threatens the lives of the mother and fetus, it necessitates a multidisciplinary approach. Communication among various specialties is critical to ensure members of the health care team are informed of the detailed plan of care. By being informed of the specific needs of the mother, fetus, and newborn, health care providers can facilitate an optimal outcome.
