Lesson Objectives: Ectopic Pregnancy Nursing Care Plan (NCP)
- Understanding Ectopic Pregnancy:
- Develop a comprehensive understanding of ectopic pregnancy, including its pathophysiology, risk factors, and potential complications.
- Early Identification and Assessment:
- Learn to recognize early signs and symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, enabling prompt assessment and intervention. Understand the importance of a thorough medical history and diagnostic tests in confirming the diagnosis.
- Treatment Modalities:
- Explore the various treatment options for ectopic pregnancy, including medical management with methotrexate, surgical interventions (salpingostomy or salpingectomy), and the associated nursing responsibilities and patient education.
- Complication Prevention and Management:
- Gain knowledge about potential complications of ectopic pregnancy, such as hemorrhage and emotional distress, and develop skills in preventing and managing these complications effectively.
- Patient Education and Support:
- Focus on providing comprehensive patient education regarding ectopic pregnancy, its implications, treatment options, and the importance of follow-up care. Understand the psychological impact on the patient and develop strategies to offer emotional support.
Pathophysiology of Ectopic Pregnancy
- Abnormal Implantation:
- Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, commonly in the fallopian tubes. This abnormal implantation prevents the embryo from developing normally in the uterine cavity.
- Tubal Changes:
- In most cases, tubal pregnancies result from structural abnormalities or inflammation in the fallopian tubes, hindering the normal passage of the fertilized egg to the uterus. This can be associated with conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or tubal scarring.
- Impaired Tubal Transport:
- Conditions that slow or obstruct the movement of the fertilized egg through the fallopian tubes contribute to ectopic pregnancy. Factors such as adhesions, endometriosis, or previous tubal surgeries may impede the normal transport of the embryo.
- Hormonal Imbalance:
- Disruptions in hormonal regulation, particularly abnormalities in progesterone levels, can affect the normal movement of the fertilized egg and its implantation. Hormonal factors play a crucial role in the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy.
- Increased Risk Factors:
- Certain risk factors, such as a history of pelvic surgeries, previous ectopic pregnancies, or the use of assisted reproductive technologies, elevate the likelihood of ectopic implantation. Understanding these risk factors is crucial for early identification and intervention.
Etiology of Ectopic Pregnancy
- Previous Tubal Damage:
- Prior damage to the fallopian tubes, often caused by infections like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or previous surgeries, increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Scar tissue or adhesions can impede the normal passage of the fertilized egg.
- History of Ectopic Pregnancy:
- Women who have experienced an ectopic pregnancy in the past are at a higher risk of recurrence. The structural changes in the reproductive system resulting from the previous ectopic pregnancy contribute to the increased likelihood.
- Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART):
- The use of fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), can be associated with a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy. ART procedures often involve the manipulation of embryos, which may impact their implantation in the uterus.
- Contraceptive Methods:
- While contraceptives are designed to prevent pregnancy, their failure or improper use can lead to an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy. This is particularly true for women using intrauterine devices (IUDs) for contraception.
- Tubal Ligation Reversal:
- In cases where women have undergone tubal ligation (surgical sterilization) and later seek reversal of the procedure, there is an elevated risk of ectopic pregnancy. The reversal may result in changes to the tubal anatomy, affecting the normal passage of the fertilized egg.
Desired Outcomes for Ectopic Pregnancy
- Early Detection and Intervention:
- Prompt identification of ectopic pregnancy through vigilant monitoring of signs and symptoms, as well as early confirmation through diagnostic tests, such as ultrasound and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels.
- Minimization of Complications:
- Prevention and reduction of complications associated with ectopic pregnancy, including tubal rupture and hemorrhage. Timely intervention, such as medical management or surgical intervention, aims to minimize the risk of life-threatening complications.
- Preservation of Reproductive Health:
- Preservation of the patient’s reproductive health by minimizing the impact on fertility. This involves addressing the ectopic pregnancy while preserving the function of the affected fallopian tube whenever possible.
- Psychosocial Support:
- Provision of comprehensive psychosocial support to help the patient cope with the emotional and psychological aspects of ectopic pregnancy. This includes counseling on the implications for future pregnancies and emotional support during the decision-making process.
- Follow-up and Monitoring:
- Establishment of a structured follow-up plan to monitor the patient’s recovery, assess fertility status, and address any lingering physical or emotional concerns. Regular follow-up ensures ongoing support and identifies any potential complications or issues that may arise post-treatment.
Subjective Data:
- Amenorrhea, absence of menstrual period

Nursing Assessment for Ectopic Pregnancy
- Clinical History:
- Obtain a detailed clinical history, including menstrual history, sexual activity, contraceptive use, and any history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or previous ectopic pregnancies.
- Symptomatology:
- Assess and document presenting symptoms, such as abdominal pain (especially unilateral and sharp), vaginal bleeding, shoulder pain (indicative of peritoneal irritation), and signs of shock (e.g., hypotension, tachycardia).
- Physical Examination:
- Conduct a thorough physical examination, including abdominal and pelvic examinations to assess for tenderness, adnexal masses, or signs of peritoneal irritation. Pay close attention to vital signs and signs of shock.
- Laboratory Tests:
- Order and interpret relevant laboratory tests, including beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels to confirm pregnancy and assess its progression, as well as a complete blood count (CBC) to evaluate for signs of anemia or infection.
- Ultrasound Imaging:
- Arrange for and interpret pelvic ultrasound to confirm the location of the pregnancy, identify potential rupture, and assess the condition of the fallopian tubes and ovaries.
- Pain Assessment:
- Implement a pain assessment to evaluate the intensity, location, and character of pain. Use a pain scale to quantify discomfort and monitor changes in pain levels over time.
- Psychosocial Assessment:
- Perform a psychosocial assessment to evaluate the patient’s emotional state, understanding of the diagnosis, and coping mechanisms. Address fears, and concerns, and provide emotional support.
- Risk Factors:
- Identify and assess risk factors that may contribute to the development of ectopic pregnancy, such as a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, previous tubal surgery, or assisted reproductive technology.
Implementation for Ectopic Pregnancy
- Emergency Response:
- Initiate emergency measures if signs of shock are present, including establishing intravenous access for fluid resuscitation and notifying the healthcare provider for immediate intervention.
- Pain Management:
- Administer prescribed analgesics for pain relief, ensuring that pain is adequately controlled while monitoring for potential side effects.
- Surgical Intervention:
- Collaborate with the healthcare team to prepare the patient for surgical interventions such as laparoscopy or laparotomy for the removal of the ectopic pregnancy and repair of any damaged structures.
- Education and Counseling:
- Provide education about the diagnosis, treatment options, and potential outcomes. Offer emotional support and counseling to address the psychosocial impact of an ectopic pregnancy.
- Monitoring and Observation:
- Continuously monitor vital signs, pain levels, and signs of complications. Observe for any signs of postoperative complications, such as bleeding, infection, or adverse reactions to medications.
Nursing Interventions and Rationales
| Nursing Intervention (ADPIE) | Rationale |
| Assess vital signs:
Blood pressure Heart rate Respirations Temperature |
If an ectopic pregnancy occurs in the fallopian tube that ruptures, the patient may go into shock and will have rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, and low blood pressure. |
| Assess for signs of dehydration; skin turgor, mucous membranes, cap refill | Excessive blood loss and vomiting may cause hypovolemia and dehydration. |
| Position patient for comfort and assist with movement as needed | Patients should be positioned lying flat on the bed to reduce movement, stabilize vitals, and promote comfort. |
| Assess for abdominal pain and tenderness | Pain may vary but is usually a sign that ectopic pregnancy, or fallopian tube, has ruptured.
Patients will report stabbing or sharp pain in the lower abdomen with fluctuating intensity. |
| Monitor blood loss and administer blood products as necessary | Vaginal bleeding may range from spotting to heavier than a normal menstrual cycle |
| Monitor intake and output; administer fluids as appropriate | To maintain renal function, especially in the case of shock. |
| Administer medications as appropriate and monitor for adverse reactions | Methotrexate may be given to absorb the pregnancy tissue and save the fallopian tube.
Anti-nausea and analgesic medications may be given to manage symptoms |
| Prepare the patient for surgery:
Maintain NPO status Insert indwelling catheter Establish and maintain IV access and fluids |
If the fallopian tube has ruptured, surgery to remove part or all of the tubes may be the best option. Surgery may be performed laparoscopically or a laparotomy may be necessary. |
| Provide patient education of ways to prevent future ectopic pregnancies | Educate patient of risk factors and lifestyle changes to avoid future ectopic pregnancies:
Stop smoking Multiple sex partners increase the risk of pelvic infections and ectopic pregnancies |
Evaluation for Ectopic Pregnancy
- Response to Treatment:
- Evaluate the patient’s response to the implemented interventions, including surgical procedures, pain management, and fluid resuscitation.
- Pain Assessment:
- Assess the effectiveness of pain management strategies by evaluating the patient’s reported pain levels and observing for signs of discomfort or distress.
- Vital Sign Stability:
- Monitor vital signs to ensure stability, especially looking for signs of improvement in blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate following surgical intervention.
- Complications Monitoring:
- Continuously assess for and monitor any signs of postoperative complications, such as bleeding, infection, or adverse reactions to medications.
- Psychosocial Well-being:
- Evaluate the patient’s emotional well-being and provide ongoing support as needed, recognizing the potential psychological impact of an ectopic pregnancy and its treatment.

Transcript
Hi everyone today, we’re going to be creating a nursing care plan for ectopic pregnancy. So let’s get started. First, we’re going to be going over the pathophysiology. So an ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg, the zygote, attaches or implants and begins to grow in an area other than the uterus. This most often occurs in the fallopian tube, but can be in other areas such as the cervix, ovary, or abdominal cavity. Some nursing considerations: you want to assess vital signs, signs of dehydration, abdominal discomfort or tenderness, bleeding, administering medications, and preparing the patient for surgery. Some desired outcomes. The patient will be free from pain and complications.
So we’re going to go ahead and get into the care plan. We’re going to be writing down some subjective data and some objective data. So what are we going to see with these patients? So some subjective data that we’ll see is some nausea and weakness. Some objective data. There’s going to be some vaginal bleeding, tachycardia, and hypotension. There’s an absence of a menstrual cycle. Some dizziness weakness, some lower abdominal pain. If the fallopian tube ruptures, you’ll see a patient that will have fainting, hypotension, shoulder pain, and rectal pressure.
So interventions, you want to make sure that we’re assessing the vital signs. So we want to make sure we’re checking the blood pressure, the heart rate, respiration, and temperature. If an ectopic pregnancy occurs in the fallopian tube that ruptures, the patient may go into shock and will have a rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, and low blood pressure. Another intervention is we want to assess for signs of dehydration. So you’re going to be checking skin turgor, mucous membranes, or capillary refill. Usually, excessive blood loss and vomiting will cause hypovolemia and dehydration. So we want to give some IV fluids, our isotonic solution, and be able to hydrate and establish good renal function for the patient. We want to make sure we’re positioning the patient for comfort and assisting with movement as needed. So we want to make sure that we have them in a comfortable position. Patients should be positioned, lying flat on the bed to reduce movement, stabilize vitals, and promote comfort. We want to make sure we’re assessing for any sort of abdominal pain and tenderness. So for pain for these patients, pain may vary, but is usually a sign that ectopic pregnancy or the fallopian tube has ruptured. So if they’re having a lot of pain, you want to immediately think about rupture; patients will report stabbing or sharp pain in the lower abdomen with full intensity. Another intervention is we want to make sure we’re monitoring blood loss and administer blood products as necessary. So, how much blood loss? Vaginal bleeding may range from spotting to having heavier than normal menstrual cycles. We want to administer medications as appropriate. One medication we may give these patients is methotrexate. It may be given to absorb the pregnancy tissue and save the fallopian tube. We can also do anti nausea medication and analgesics for the pain. We want to make sure we’re preparing the patient for surgery. You want to maintain NPO status. You want to make sure we’re inserting a Foley catheter. We want to make sure that we have established and maintain an IV access for fluids and or any medications we might be giving them. If the fallopian tube is ruptured, surgery to remove part or all of the tube may be the best option for the patient. Surgery may be performed laparoscopically, or it may be not done laparoscopically. It might be a laparotomy that may be completed for the patient.
All right, we’re going to move on to the key points. So it is a fertilized egg that attaches or implants and begins to grow in another area other than the uterus. This can be caused by endometriosis, scar tissue, or inflammation. Some subjective or objective data. You’ll see some nausea, weakness, dizziness, lower abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, or spotting, tachycardia, hypertension. We want to assess their vital signs, signs of dehydration, abdominal pain, and tenderness monitoring for any sort of blood loss. We want to make sure we’re administering medications as needed and prepping the patient for surgery. And there you have a completed care plan.
You guys did amazing. Hope you guys are having a great day. Go out, be your best self today. And as always happy nursing.
