direct line of a fan or air conditioning vent, swaddle
the newborn in a blanket, and keep the head covered.
Any procedure done with the newborn uncovered
should be performed under a radiant heat source.
Keep ambient temperature of the nursery or client’s
room at 22 to 26° C (72 to 78° F)

60
Q

away from windows and air conditioners)

61
Q

62
Q

What is conduction?

A

Loss of body heat resulting from direct
contact with a cooler surface. (Preheat a radiant
warmer, warm a stethoscope and other instruments,
and pad a scale before weighing the newborn. The
newborn should be placed directly on the parent’s
chest and covered with a warm blanket)

feeding
* If baby still has jaundice, then feed them, Bili light, put them in the window, take outside

every hour for the next 4-6 hours. The nurse also monitors swelling and voiding. When
changing the diaper, inspect every 4 hours (or with every diaper change), wash with water to
remove urine and feces. Apply petroleum jelly or erythromycin to the glans with each diaper
change. Do not wash with soap until exudate gone. Check for infection including redness,

A

When the infant is properly latched, the tip of their nose, cheeks, and chin should all be touching the breasts.

105
Q

Steps for late decels?

A
  1. Turn the patient to side laying position (This allows for better perfusion to the placenta)
  2. Open Iv fluids or at least give a 500mL bolus & Elevate patient’s legs (This will allow the IV fluids that have oxygenated blood to flow to the placenta better)
  3. Discontinue Oxytocin (As contractions continue it also continues to stress the fetus making it lose any oxygen reserves it has.)
