Discuss how gender schema theory attempts to explain the existence of gendered behavior

How does a gender schema influence our ideas about gender?
Gender schemas are based on children’s interactions and observations of others, their environment, and the culture. These gender schemas are used to organize and direct the child’s behavior based on his or her society’s gender norms and expectations related to the child’s gender
What is the main idea behind gender schema theory?
Developed by Sandra Bem (1981, 1983), gender schema theory explains the development and consequences of sex typing or how children acquire sex-defined characteristics (i.e., preferences, skills, personality traits, behaviors, and self-concepts) that are aligned with gender.
How does schema affect behavior?
Schemas can influence what you pay attention to, how you interpret situations, or how you make sense of ambiguous situations. Once you have a schema, you unconsciously pay attention to information that confirms it and ignore or minimize information that contradicts it.

Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time.

All labor and delivery team members must be able to recognize the signs of a prolapsed cord and initiate appropriate emergency interventions to relieve pressure on the cord until emergency delivery, usually, a cesarean delivery, can be accomplished.

Prolonged cord compression (occlusion of blood flow to and from the fetus for longer than 5 minutes) leads to fetal hypoxia, usually resulting in the central nervous system (CNS) damage or fetal death.

List 6 steps you would take to relieve pressure on the umbilical cord.

Please include the following steps

  1. Perform hand hygiene before patient contact.
  2. Introduce yourself to the mother and support person.
  3. Verify the correct patient using two identifiers
  4. Assess the presentation, position, and station of the fetus.
  5. Determine if factors that increase the risk of a prolapsed umbilical cord are present.
  6. Ensure that adult and neonatal resuscitation equipment is readily available.
  7. Ensure that supplies and equipment are available and prepare for an emergency cesarean delivery.
  8. Perform hand hygiene and don gloves
