Clinical Judgment Case Study with Concept Map

Case study

A 25-year-old woman who is at 34 weeks’ gestation arrives to the obstetrician’s office for her routine appointment; she is accompanied by her husband. The client informs the nurse that she has some generalized abdominal discomfort and has had firm stools recently that are hard to pass and less frequent than usual. Additionally, the client reports urine leakage that is especially noticeable with coughing, laughing, or sneezing. The client reports managing the symptoms of constipation with increased fluid intake but no other measures. The provider examines the client and determines the client demonstrates an otherwise normal assessment. The provider instructs the nurse to provide the client with directions on constipation management, including an over-the-counter stool softener and urinary incontinence related to pregnancy.
