A

Taking In: 1-2 days. Focused on her own physiological needs. Very dependent. Must integrate birth experience into real life- designate pregnancy is over.

Taking Hold: 3-7 days. Become more independent. Attention transitions to newborn. May become anxious. Very teachable period.

Q

When is RhoGam indicated

A

Mother Rh-, baby Rh +

25
Q

When should baby have adequate surfactant

A

34-36 weeks

26
Q

Non shivering thermogenesis in baby

A

Metabolism of brown fat to produce heat

27
Q

Evaporation heat loss baby

A

Air drying of skin=cooling

Dry infant asap

28
Q

Conduction heat loss baby

A

Direct contact w/ cold object

Skin to skin contact important to keep babie warm

29
Q

Convection heat loss baby

A

COLD AIR MAKE BABY COLD

30
Q

Radiation heat loss baby

A

Heat to cooler objects not in direct contact

Don’t put baby by cold window

31
Q

Cold stress

A

Increases metabolic rate, metabolism of brown fat causing inc. need for O2

Low surfactant- exacerbation of respiratory distress

Hypoglycemia from using glucose to heat body–> glucose metabolization–>metabolic acidosis and can interfere w/ bilirubin transport-> jaundice

32
Q

ToRCHeS infection

A

Toxoplasmosis

Rubella

Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Herpes/HIV

Syphillis

33
Q

Toxoplasmosis signs symptoms effects

A

From cat feces/raw meat

Maternal Sx: Lymphadenopathy

Newborn Sx: Blueberry muffin lookin ass head

Hydrocephalus

Intracranial calcification

34
Q

Rubella signs symptoms effects

A

Respiratory droplets

Maternal Sx: Rash, lymphadenopathy, arthritis

Newborn Sx: Blind, deaf

Cataract/deafness
Blueberry muffin head

35
Q

36
Q

HIV signs symptoms effects

A

Mother Sx: AIDS

Newborn Sx: Recurrent infections (SCID- severe combined immune deficiency), chronic diarrhea

37
Q

Herpes 2 signs symptoms effects

A

Mother: Herpetic lesions

Newborn: herpetic lesions, encephalitis

38
Q

Syphilis signs symptoms effects

A

Maternal: 3 stages syphilis

Newborn: Hyrops fetalis, deafness, short maxilla, hutchinson teeth (two spikes per tooth)

39
Q

Hyperthermia

A

Babies too warm, use brown fat can get metabolic acidosis. Use more O2 than can take in

40
Q

Normal newborn vitals

A

Temp: 97.7-99.5 (36.5-37.5C)

Pulse: 120-160

RR: 30-60

41
Q

Physiologic Jaundice

A

Transient hyperbilirubinemia

Not present in first 24 hr of life

Bili level over 5

Rate of bili level rise fall important

42
Q

Non-physiologic jaundice

A

Can be first 24 hr.

Abnormalities causing excess destruction of erythrocytes

43
Q

Breastfeeding and Jaundice/Early onset jaundice

A

Breastfeeding can cause high bilirubin levels if not fed enough.

Risks: poor suck, not enough colostrum intake (colostrum is a laxative, cant expel bilirubin via meconium)

44
Q

What immunoglobulin crosses the placenta for da baby

A

IgG!

45
Q

Newborn urinary

A
