1. What is a midwife expected to know/ do in order to give their patient all the assistance they need before, during, and after pregnancy?
2. In order for a midwife to give their patient all the assistance they need, they need to be able to draw from past experiences, must be personable, supportive, and empathetic. They must be someone a women feels she can fully trust with her life and her baby's life.
3. An important source that has helped me come to this answer are two pieces of research. One of them is titled, "Professional Midwifery," and the other one is titled, "The Art of Midwifery." These pieces have helped me because they talk about practice administration, quality improvement, leadership skills, and professional development within a midwife.
4. My mentor is Deborah Nakielski who is a CNM at Kaiser Permanente. The work I do with Debbie relates to my working EQ because she gives me an insight on what a midwife should be doing to fully assist their patients. Working with her highly increases my knowledge of midwifery as a whole and gives me a hands on approach to learning.
