Patient A is a 36 year old
gravida 3, para 2 who seeks
medical attention from her obstetrician due to
slight bright red vaginal bleeding without complaint of
pain. The obstetrical patient is 30 weeks
gestation with a documented LMP
August 8th 2020. Her prenatal
history includes one previous cesarean section
delivery due to breech presentation with no
complications. Also, one early ectopic
pregnancy ten years prior, treated with Methotrexate and
resolved without complication. The patient is notably anxious,
alert and oriented with all vital signs stable. Fetal heart
rate 140 beats per minute.
The ultrasound technician performs an
abdominal ultrasound scan stat. The US
reveals a diagnosis of placenta previa. Due
to the obstetrical complication the physician recommends rest with
avoidance of exercise and sexual intercourse. The plan of
care includes close monitoring of the remainder of pregnancy with a
need for additional ultrasound scans, avoidance of unnecessary
colposcopy exams as well as potential cesarean
section delivery if bleeding persists.
