Postpartum Experience Record

Technology observed
•sphirometer - this is used for the patient to breath on it so they cannot get pneumonia.
•pulse oximetry is used to measure the oxygen level in the blood of the patient.
•IVs and vital sign machines

Diagnostic procedures
the nurse checks the vital sign every minute. All of the patients I saw were fine.

Therapeutic procedures
•with every patient, the nurse always checks the vital signs and then checks the stomach wound. They also check how swollen their feet are. They are supposed to breastfeed every two hours and they will get some cramps when they start.

Disease/disorders observed
walk and drink can help the swollen feet go away. The patient gets hormonal 2 weeks and the best way to cure it is to at least take a walk
