8-10 per day or every 3hrs, wake them up
31
benefits of breast milk for baby
reduces neonatal mortality rates, passes on antibodies to protect from inf, digests easier than formula, may protect against diseases later in life, facilitates attachment of mom and baby
32
benefits of breast milk for mom
dec risk of breast, uterine, ovarian cancer, dec postpartum bleeding, facilates weight loss, dec risk of osteoprosis and hip fx.

35
causes of CP
Prenatal-preeclampsia, exposure to toxins, genetics, Rh type incompabilities, intrauterine ischemia, toxoplasmosis, CMV, rubella. Perinatal-breech birth, cord around neck, low birth weight, birth trauma, hematoma, abruption, previa. Postnatal-shaken baby, meningitis, head trauma/MVA, CVA
36
Types of CP

37
hypertonic SP

38
athetoid CP
dyskinetic- 10-20% of CP, slow writhing movements of head arms, legs, face, tongue, can cause drooling and grimacing. Movements inc with stress or when child is upset. They dec when child is sleeping
39
ataxic CP
rare form of CP, affects balance and depth perception, walk with wide gait, diff with fine motor skills, have tremors
40
complications with CP
contractures, frequent resp inf, cognitive impairment, self care deficit
41
purple crying

most important ND for CP pt?
risk for injury, aspiration, falls, etc.
46
nursing actions to keep CP pt safe
keep suction and 02 nearby, low beds, side rails up, prevent ulcers, no sharp objects, no metal silverware
47
ways to prevent SIDS
back sleeping, firm bedding with tight fitting sheet, no loose objects or toys in crib, uncover baby's head during sleep, use pacifiers while sleeping, don't smoke, don't overheat baby

49
side effect of back sleeping
plagiocephaly- flattened back of head, have tummy time while awake and try and rotate baby's head a little while sleeping
50
preterm time periods
Late preterm 34-37wks, moderately preterm 32-34, very preterm <32 wks
51
causes of preterm birth
1. infection(body's inflam response) 2.maternal or fetal stress(stress releases CRH horm that triggers uterine cont) 3. bleeding (causes release of proteines which trigger cont) 4. stretching(d/t twins, excess amniotic fluid or placental abnormalities). BISS-baby is so small
52
women at greatest risk for preterm labor (PTL)
previous preterm (bigest risk factor), preg with multiples, cerv or uterine abnormalities, inf, DM, HTN, preeclampsia, clotting disorders, vag bleeding, preg d/t IVF, obesity, underweight, short term b/t pregnancies, teens, over 35, low income, substance abuse, smokers
53
diagnostic tests to predict PTL
cervical length (short cervix=inc risk), fetal fibronectin (fFN)-biological glue that helps fetal sac attach to uterine lining, is normally seen in secretions up to 22 weeks, and then reappears 1-3wks before delivery. Only high risk women get this test
54
healthy people 2020 goal for PTL
want to dec the amount of PTL to less than 7.6% of births
55
roles of placenta
1. protective barrier 2.provides nutrients 3. eliminates fetal waste 4.synthesis of horms that promote growth
56
serious complications of prematurity
RDS, pneumothroax, apnea, IVH, PDA, NEC, ROP, CLD
57
respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)
d/t lack of surfactant or immature alveolia, common in newborns before 34 wks, lungs don't expand enough
58
Tx for RDS
give 02, CPAP, or vent
59
what complications of prematurity can be caused my medical interventions?
pneumothorax-excessive ambu bagging, retinopathy of prematurity-from excess 02, chronic lung disease-from prolonged vent use
60
apnea
20sec or more, or less than 20sec if with dec 02sat or bradycardia
61
intraventricular hemmorhage (IVH)
is a stroke, usually in babies younger than 32 wks, if 24wks or less this will most likey occur within 72hrs of birth since brain and vessels are not mature or in babies less than 1500gm
62
patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
heart issue where duct doesn't close, may be treated with indomethacin or surgery
63
necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)
acute inflam disease of GI mucosa complicated by perforation, occurs d/t vascular compromise. Body conserves blood for brain and heart and therefore GI suffers
64
retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)
eye problme d/t eye vessels being exposed to too much 02
65
chronic lung disease (CLD)
aka bronchopulmonary displasia (BPD)-results from prolonged vent use, not common now d/t steroid injections and surfactant being given
66
ballard scale
newborn assessment scale- adapted from Dubowitz assessment
67
ECMO
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy-taking blood out and adding oxygen then putting it back in providing oxygen directly to heart and lungs through a catheter
68
buretrol
safety device that limits amoutn of IV fluid available to prevent accidental overdose in infants
69
nonnutritive sucking
may give pacifier to encourage sucking in premie to help sucking and swallow reflex develop
70
plagiocephaly
flattening of head d/t back sleeping, give them tummy time while awake
71
T/F pacifiers increase the risk of SIDS
False, they dec the risk
72
when is the highest risk of SIDS
2-4months
73
SGA
birthweight <10th percentile
74
gonorrhea
ROM can cause baby to be exposed, Tx with erythromycin ointment . Can cause BLINDNESS
75
syphilis
if mom + then she will get penicilin early in preg. Want tests to be NON REACTIVE, can cause STILLBORN or abortion
76
toxoplasmosis
found in cat feces, don't eat raw sheep or beef, can cause death of baby, MR, and severe pshcyomotor issues. Tx is pyrimethamine & sulfonamides
77
HIV
transmitted through placenta, maternal blood, and breast milk. If mom treated <3% chance baby will get it, if not treated much higher, test baby for up to 15mo, do NOT breastfeed
78
rubella
mom should get titer > 1:8, can cause HEARING loss
79
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
can cause HEARING & LEARNING DISAB, can get during birth or through breastmilk
80
GBS
treat mom with penicilin-2 doses before labor, causes SEPSIS and MENINGITIS

transmitted through placenta or birth canal, if active outbreak mom may have C/S, treat mom with antiviral meds, affects SKIN/EYE, or ENCEPHALITIS
82
Chlamydia
mom may be asymptomatic, give baby erythromycin ointment, CONJUNCTIVITIS & PNEUMONIA, NOTIFY CDC
83
what do we ask parents before circumcision
any hx of hemophilia or bleeding disorders? Vit K given
84
Circumcisions
Gomco clamp-most common, clamps around head, cut off foreskin with scapal. Will be inflamed after, put petrolium jelly gause wrap till healed, watch for urine within 24hrs. Plastibell-plastic piece is put around head and sutured, skin and plastic piece will fall off in few days-no petrolium jelly needed, clean with drops of water
