I. INTRODUCTION
Overview of the Case
In the case of Mrs. Irene O. Cabasag, 39 years old from Tambaling 11, Bolobolo,
El Salvador, Misamis Oriental, she was admitted to Northern Mindanao Medical Center
(A2F1-OB-WARD 7 Service Ward - Bed 5) last December 6, 2013 at 7:00pm with a
chief complaint: 3 days prior to admission, patient had onset of headache associated
with dizziness and epigastric pain condition tolerated, no consult done. Her admission
diagnosis is: Pregnancy uterine, 31 5/7 weeks age of gestation, chronic hypertension
with superimposed preeclampsia severe, G2P1(1001). Her principal diagnosis is:
Pregnancy Uterine Pre Term, cephalic presentation delivered to a live premature baby
girl APGAR 9, BW 2.4kg, via Normal Spontaneous Vaginal Delivery.

hypertension, blood pressure follows the same pattern. Some women, however,
experience a rise in blood pressure during pregnancy, which can increase their risk for
stroke and other complications and may therefore require more aggressive
antihypertensive treatment. A healthcare professional should monitor you to ensure that
a hypertension-related complication does not develop.
Objective
The objective of making this case study is to identify the problem of our patient and to
determine the factors that contribute to this kind of disease so that specific actions
should be done and rendered to our patient. The group has selected the patient having
this kind of disease because the primary concept that should fit our study is all about
abnormalities pertaining obstetric and gynecologic nursing. Having this kind of case
study is a privilege for us because it would be a good learning process by adding new
knowledge and concept about different kinds of diseases that may be present in some
patients. By making this case study we can identify the disease step by step, its nature
on how this disease occur, and nursing actions that would be appropriate for the patient.

SCOPE and LIMITATIONS of the STUDY
The study was conducted at Northern Mindanao Medical Center Delivery Room and OB
Ward, Cagayan de Oro City in which observation, analyzing and understanding the
patients condition was done. We were only given 24hours on understanding patients
problem. The study is also limited to the condition of the patient, which are chronic
hypertension with super imposed pre-eclampsia and its effect during pregnancy. The
study focuses only on obtaining the patients profile, health history and present health
condition; assessing, recording, and gathering of pertinent data about the patient.
Estimating the nursing needs and coping capacity of the patient. Finding the primary
health problems of the patient and the appropriate nursing interventions to solve the
condition of the patient. The objectives, nursing care plans, doctors order, and drug
study evaluation for the patient also done in this study.

II.DATA BASE AND HISTORY
Our Patient is Irene O. Cabasag, 39 years old married female form Tambaling
11, Bolobolo, El Salvador, Misamis Oriental. G2P1 with an LMP of May 28, 2013 and an
EDC of February 4, 2014. Her AOG is 31 5/7weeks and was admitted due to onset of
headache associated with dizziness and epigastric pain.
While at the Delivery Room her BP was fluctuating from 180/110 to 200/120 mmHg.
Patient Cabasag had her first child in 1997 with NSVD, few years after she developed
hypertension.
During her assessment in the labor room, her fundal height was 27cm. FHB was
taken and recorded at 160 BPM RUQ. Internal examination was done. The patient was
in active labor. In her ultrasound report, her diagnosis is:
Her admitting diagnosis was Pregnancy uterine, 31 5/7 weeks age of gestation,
chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia severe, G2P1 (1001)
She had previous NSVD delivery in 1997. Coughs and colds with few bouts were
also experienced with the date not specifically recalled. She takes OTC medications for
common ailments like biogesic for fever and alaxan for pain reliever.
Upon interview her hypertension started with her second pregnancy and upon
further investigation she had a heredo-familial history of hypertension on her mothers
side.

WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT: is a blood test to measure the number of white blood
cells (WBCs).
- The white blood cell count of patient Cabasag was greater than the expected value
of or the normal value of white blood cell we have to our body.
- The white cell count (the number of cells in a given amount of blood) in someone
with an infection often is higher than usual because more WBCs are being produced or
are entering the bloodstream to battle the infection.
After the body has been challenged by some infections, lymphocytes "remember" how
to make the specific antibodies that will quickly attack the same germ if it enters the
body again.
RED BLOOD CELL COUNT: is a blood test that tells how many red blood cells (RBCs)
you have.
- The red blood cell count of patient Cabasag was less than the expected value of or
the normal value of red blood cell we have to our body.
- Red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of your body. When your red blood cell (or
hemoglobin) count is low, parts of your body do not get enough oxygen to do their work.
This condition is called anemia and can make you feel very tired.
HEMOGLOBIN: is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A blood test can tell
how much hemoglobin you have in your blood.
- The hemoglobin of patient Cabasag was less than to the expected value or normal
result.
HEMATOCRIT: is a blood test that measures the percentage of the volume of whole
blood that is made up of red blood cells. This measurement depends on the number of
red blood cells and the size of red blood cells.
-The hematocrit of patient Cabasag was lesser than the expected value of a normal
result.
-The PDW of patient Cabasag was lesser than the expected value of a normal result.
Page | 15
MONOCYTE COUNT: This test measures the amount of monocytes in blood.
Monocytes are a type of white blood cell (WBC). This test is used to evaluate and
manage blood disorders, certain problems with the immune system, and cancers,
including monocytic leukemia. This test may also be used to evaluate for the risk of
complications after a heart attack.
-The monocyte of patient Cabasag was higher than the expected value of a normal
result.
URINALYSIS
Urine Test
-The color of the urine of patient Cabasag was straw and the clarity was turbid, the
color of urine is affected to what she taking. The pH result was 6.0 it is an indication that
the body's fluids elsewhere are too acid, and it is working overtime to rid itself of an acid
medium. They have few epithelial cells, few bacteria and the calcium oxalate was rare
in her urine. If theirs bacteria, epithelial cells seen in the urine there was an infection.
Bacteria are common in urine specimens because of the abundant normal microbial
flora of the vagina or external urethral meatus and because of their ability to rapidly
multiply in urine standing at room temperature. Therefore, microbial organisms found in
all but the most scrupulously collected urines should be interpreted in view of clinical
symptoms.

IV. DEVELOPMENTAL DATA
The term growth and development both refers to dynamic process. Often used
interchangeably, these terms have different meanings. Growth and development are
interdependent, interrelated process. Growth generally takes place during the first 20
years of life; development continues after that.

It is the period of life to which they have looked forward during their adolescence and
early adulthood. And the time passes so quickly during these full and active middle
years that most people arrive at the end of middle age and the beginning of later
maturity with surprise and a sense of having finished the journey while they were still
preparing to commence it.

VIII. REFERRALS AND FOLLOW-UP:
Instructed the client to come back one week after discharged for further follow-up
and evaluation of the clients health condition. This is very important so that the health
condition of the client will be evaluated if there is better improvement. The physician
should see and examine the physical appearance of the client.
This care study enables us to further our learning association with disease
condition of the patient. From it, we have gained knowledge in the progression of the
disease and the reaction of the body to maintain homeostasis and how eventually it
causes harm.
Case studies are a way of getting familiar or get acquainted not only with the
patient but also on his or her condition. It provides concrete examples of how the
theoretical knowledge learned during lectures was applied. How the concepts of the
various disease conditions were manifested through the client. It allows the opportunity
to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge through the experiences gained in
management and in caring for the patient. As a result, it is a must that case studies
should be made not just for requirement purposes but also for the pursuit of knowledge.
In general, the case study promoted learning through the research and actual
experiences and made us more knowledgeable in caring for the patient and that can
really be used in our chosen field.
