Q

treatment for a baby with intermittent eye turns

A

remember that door the first 2 months of life, the eyes are not always working together, and infantile ts may have an ocular deviation that is present for short periods of time. In this case, Bruckerns, CT, versions, and the Hirschberg test did not show any abnormalities or asymmetry between the eyes. Thus the infant has a normal short term ocular deviation that will resolve with age. The infants parents should be educated to watch for an increase in frequency of the eye turn, especially if the same eye always turns

Q

NLDO

A

may be congenital or acquired in nature. Congenital NLDO most often occurs due to membranous blockage of the valve of hasner. This usually spontaneously opens 1-2 months after birth. Conservative treatment (massage and erythromycin) for the first 6-13m of age. If spontaneous resolution of the blockage does not occur, nasolacrtimal duct probing is indicated

Q

emmetropization

A

after birth this occurs, where the eye loses 30D of power to reach a refractive state of emmetropia.

describes the processes that occur in the eye after birth to reach a refractive state of emmetropia. These processes include increasing the axial length from an average of 16mm (90D) in the newborn to 24mm (60D) in an adult, and decreasing the power of the cornea and lens. Typically stops around 18m of age

29
Q

survival reflexes

A
  • suckling reflex-when anobjepct is inserted into the mouth, the baby starts sucking on it. This is necessary for the baby to feed and is involuntary until 2m
  • rooting reflex-if you stroke the newborns cheek, he will turn his head in the same direction as the cheek and open his mouth
30
Q

non survival reflexes in newborn

A
palmar grasp 
babinski reflex 
plantar grasp 
placing 
stepping 
fencing
31
Q

any infants who demonstrate primitive reflexes after the age of _____ should be tested further for developmental delays

A

1 year

32
Q

motor development: 5m

A

raise their head from a lying position and are able to roll over onto their back from their stomach

33
Q

motor development: 7m

A

start to creep. They also transition to the pincer grasp

34
Q

motor development: 9-10m

A

infants start to crawl (moving on theoir hands and knees) and cruise (can walk a few steps if holding onto furniture

35
Q

motor development: 12m

A

walking on own, throw items with good release, turn pages of book, hold a spoon, and build a tower with 2 blocks

A

walk backwards, climb up and down stairs if someone holds their hand, jump, and scribble on paper

37
Q

motor development: 2y

A

walk up stairs on their own with two feet on one step, run faster, open doors, kick a ball, and build a tower with 7 blocks

38
Q

motor development: 3y

A

can manipulate buttons and scissors, walk up the steps like an adult, build a tower with 10 blocks, and draw a circle.

39
Q

motor development: 5y

A

copy a circle (3 yrs), a cross (3.5y), a square (4y), and a triangle (5yr)

40
Q

motor development: 6y

A

begin to vary. some develop skills for specific sports, while others develop fine motor skills to play instruments

41
Q

4 stages of cognition

A
  1. sensorimotor stage (birth to 2y)
  2. pre-opreational stage (2-7y)
  3. concrete operations stage (7-12y)
  4. formal operations stage (12y and >)
42
Q

sensorimotor stage

A

birth to 2y
the Childs cognitive understanding is shaped by his immediate experiences

  1. birth to 1m: primitive
  2. primary circular reaction: repeating behavior that has something happen by chance with own body
  3. secondary circular reaction: repeat behavior on external object to understand consequences
  4. coordination of schemes: appreciates consequences from certain behavior and mimics people. goal oriented behavior
  5. tertiary circular reactions: understands cause and effect relationships
  6. Beginnings of symbolic thought: create memories and can also solve problems cognitively

object permanency occurs at the end of this stage.

43
Q

pre-opreational stage

A

2-7 y

  • understand object permanency
  • new language
  • egocentrism
  • sense and time
  • conservation (quantity does not change if shape changes)
  • reversibiltiy
44
Q

concrete operational stage

A

7-12y

more understanding of conservation and reversibility
understand multiple aspects of an object
do not think in abstracts
less egocentric

45
Q

formal operations stage

A

12y and >

abstract reasoning and more logical thoughts

46
Q

emotional development

A

closely linked to social development. they must first learn to show their own emotions before they can learn to react and HOW to react to emotions of others in different situations. Developing relationships first with caregivers and then with other non family members, furthers the emotional development of infants as they transition into toddlers when they learn the rules and values of society that govern emotions and relationships.

Q

emotional development: 3m

A

smile at human faces

immediate emotional reactions to current situations

48
Q

emotional development: 4-5m

emotional development: 10m

A

learned to moderate their emotions instead of responding immediately to a certain situations
learn how to interact with caregivers by signaling or gesturing to them

secondary emotions: beyond anger, fear, surprise, and joy

A

controlling impulses
appropriate behavior
