Problem
You are asked to design a Patient Information Tool to explain how the cardiovascular systems change in the mother during pregnancy, and the baby (before and after birth). Integration of the cardiovascular system with muscles and the respiratory system is also required. You should presume that the audience reading your Patient Information Tool has not undertaken prior studies in health.
To address this, the specific information to be provided in the Patient Information Tool is detailed below, with main components, for Student.
Criteria I: Describe the normal anatomy and physiology of the mother's cardiovascular system (prior to pregnancy), including a focus on how muscles contribute to this function.
Criteria II: Describe the changes that occur in the mother's cardiovascular system during pregnancy, including relevant physical and hormonal changes, and the impact on relevant muscle/s.
