Medicines during pregnancy

CPD hours:
1

This module contains information that is relevant to the practice of any nurse or midwife who may administer medications to pregnant women and is particularly relevant to those who are endorsed to prescribe scheduled medicines to this patient population.

It discusses considerations for the prescribing of medicines to pregnant patients, including patient and medication assessment and the effects of medicines during pregnancy, and provides an overview of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) categorisation system for prescribing medications for use during pregnancy.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
