28- dev delay Flashcards
calculating corrected age in premie
Subtract gestational weeks of a premature infant from the average gestational period of 40 weeks.
Subtract the result from the chronological age to obtain the “corrected age.”

what disease can affect development
A. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia
B. Retinopathy of prematurity
C. Hyperbilirubinemia
D. Periventricular leukomalacia
Examples of development changes in response to stress
For toddlers, temper tantrums, sleep disturbances and refusal to eat are common adaptations.
Language acquisition may be slowed during periods of stress.
During hospitalization (an extreme form of stress) children may develop increased dependency, enuresis or encopresis.
If a child has recently gained motor milestones and is ill, the achievements may be temporarily lost.
risk factors for cerebral palsy
A. Perinatal asphyxia
B. Chorioamnionitis
**C. Prematurity
D. Intrauterine growth retardation

retinopathy of prematurity
extraretinal fibrovascular proliferation and, in severe cases, may cause retinal detachment and blindness.
50% of infants weighing less than 1200 g develop ROP.
Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL)
damage to the white matter surrounding the ventricles in the brain as a result of hypoxia, ischemia, and inflammation.
correlated with intraventricular hemorrhage and CP
