Exam 1 (Chapters 1-9) Flashcards
Family-Centered Care
Philosophy of health care in which a mutually beneficial partnership develops between families and the nurse, and also other health care professionals
Extended Kin Network Family
Specific form of an extended family in which two nuclear families of primary or unmarried kin live in proximity to each other
Authoritarian Parent
High control, low warmth
Child may become fearful, withdrawn, and unassertive
Girls passive and dependent, boys rebellious and aggressive
Authoritative Parent
Moderately high control, high warmth
Children are best adjusted, self-reliant, self-controlled, and socially competent
Higher self-esteem, better school performance
Permissive Parent
Low control, high warmth
Children are rebellious, aggressive, socially inept, self-indulgent, or impulsive
May be creative, active, and outgoing
Indifferent Parent
Low control, low warmth
Children have high expression of destructive impulses and delinquent behaviors
Neonatal Mortality Causes
Short gestation
LBW
Congenital malformations
Postneonatal Mortality Causes
SIDS
Congenital malformations
UNINTENTIONAL INJURIES
Infant Morbidity Causes
Injuries related to live birth
Acute bronchitis
Hemolytic jaundice
Pneumonia
LBW
Child Morbidity Causes
Asthma and pneumonia are most common causes
Effects of Divorce on Preschool Aged Children
Fear, anxiety, worry, self-blame, sorrow, grief, anger, regression, questioning, temper tantrums, loneliness
Effects of Divorce on School Aged Children
Sadness, insecurity, self-blame, guilt, resentment, behavioral problems, withdrawal from friends and activities
Effects of Divorce on Adolescents
Panic, fear, depression, guilt, risk-taking, fear of loneliness and abandonment, denial, anger, sadness, aggressiveness, skipping class, use of drugs and alcohol, sex
Eight Stages of Family Life Cycle
1: newly married
2: childbearing
3: families with preschool children
4: families with school aged children
5: families with teenagers
6: families launching young adults
7: middle aged parents
8: family in retirement and old age
Aneuploidy
Increase or decrease in number of chromosomes
Result of an error during cell division, most often with nondisjunction during meiosis
Nondisjunction
Paired homologous chromosomes that do not separate before migrating into egg or sperm cells
Examples of Aneuploidy
Turner Syndrome (monosomy)
Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome) and Trisomy 21 (Downs Syndrome)
Most monosomic/trisomic errors result in the loss of life
Mosaicism
Monosomy/trisomy during mitosis resulting in 2 separate cell line with different chromosomal makeup
Inversion
Chromosome breaks in two places and the piece between the breaks turns and reattaches within the same chromosome
Inversion of Factor VIII –> Hemophilia A
Deletion and Duplication
Unbalance rearrangement of chromosomes, may be incompatible with life
Cri du Chat is a large deletion of Chromosome 5 that results in microcephaly, intellectual disability, and cat-mewing cry
Translocation
Two nonhomologous chromosomes that exchange segments of DNA
Autosomal Dominant
Involve altered genes on autosomes rather than sex chromosomes
Individuals with AD disorders are heterozygous for the disease-producing gene; 50% chance affected parent passes on to child
Neurofibromatosis, Marfan Syndrome, Achondroplasia (dwarfism), Huntington Disease, familial hypercholesterolemia
Autosomal Recessive
Both copies of the same gene in an individual are altered
Both parents are carriers, child has 25% chance of inheriting, 50% chance of carrying, and 25% chance of being fine
Cystic Fibrosis, Sickle Cell Disease, Tay-Sachs, and most inborn errors of metabolism
X-Linked Disorders
Hemophilia A, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Y-Linked Disorders
Contains genes related to spermatogenesis problems
Penetrance
Probability a gene will be expressed phenotypically
All-or-none concept
Variable Expressivity
Degree to which a phenotype is expressed
New Mutation
Occurs when there is no family history
Anticipation
Occurs when successive generations exhibit earlier onsets with more severe signs/symptoms
Minor Anomaly
Usual morphologic feature that is of no serious concern
Wide-set eyes, single palmar creases, cafe au lait, low anterior hairline, preauricular pits, broad face, mild proportionate short stature
Major Anomaly
Serious structural defect present at birth
Congenital heart defects, cleft lip/palate, myelomeningocoele, duodenal atresia, craniosynostosis
Syndrome
Collection of multiple anomalies
Principles of Growth and Development
Cephalocaudal (growth goes from head to toe)
Proximodistal (growth goes from core to periphery)
Freud’s Psychosexual Theory
Oral (birth-1 year): infant derives pleasure from mouth
Anal (1-3 years): control over secretions
Phallic (3-6 years): child works out relationships with parents
Latency (6-12 years): sexual energy is at rest
Genital (12-adulthood): mature sexuality achieved
Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory
Trust v. Mistrust (birth-1 year): task is to establish trust in those providing care
Autonomy v. Shame and Doubt (1-3 years): autonomy shown by controlling excretions, saying no, directing motor activity
Initiative v. Guilt (3-6 years): initiation of new activities
Industry v. Inferiority (6-12 years): child takes pride in accomplishments and develops new interests
Identity v. Role Confusion (12-18 years): thoughts are more complex, finds a definition of self
Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory
Sensorimotor (birth-2 years): use of senses to drive motor activity
Preoperational (2-7 years): words/symbols used, no logic
Concrete Operational (7-11 years): accurate understanding of cause and effect, conversation is learned
Formal Operational (11-adulthood): mature intellectual thought
