Q

what is normal neonatal growth?

A
  1. average birth weight of 7 lb 8 oz
  2. weight loss up to 10% that is then regained by 7-14 days of age
  3. 15-30 gram weight gain per day for the first month of life (0.5-1 oz)
  4. higher caloric requirement: 80-120 kcal/kg/day
  5. average birth length of 20 inches

Q

why do babies lose a lot of weight in the first couple days of life?

A

a baby is born and if they’re breastfeeding, the mothers milk doesn’t come in right away –> all the baby is getting is colostrum which is thick and nutrient packed but not a lot of water so there’s water weight loss

also when babies are born, they’re a little water logged and they lose some of it in the first couple days

Q

how can you increase a neonates caloric intake per day?

A

increase total volume that they’re eating

could be difficult for a small baby because they’re gonna feed till they’re full then stop

so really the only way you can do it is to increase the amount of calories in the milk by adding formula

A
  1. percentiles are important
  2. mark a growth chart at every visit

Q

what are the primitive reflexes that are part of normal child development?

A
  1. moro
  2. babinski
  3. rooting
  4. suckling
  5. grasp
  6. galant
  7. stepping

these are only suspected to be here for a certain amount of time till mature neural reflexes are formed

Q

what is the Moro reflex? when does it go away?

A

when a baby is startled, there arms go out to the side

you want it to be symmetric, so both arms go out

you elicit this by holding the baby and letting the head dip back so the baby gets scared and their arms will go out

it should be there till 4 months old; it goes away once babies can bring hands to midline on purpose

Q

what is the babinski reflex?

A

you want to stoke the lateral foot and the toes will go up

if you stroke the middle of the foot the toes will curl down because that’s activating the grasp reflex

in adults the toes should curl down

Q

what is the rooting reflex?

A

when you stroke the babies cheek or the side of their mouth, they’ll open their mouth and turn towards it

this is what’s helping them to find food!

  5. grasp
  6. galant
  7. stepping

19
Q

what is the stepping reflex?

A

hold baby under their armpits and let their feet touch the table and they’ll lift it so that it looks like their trying to talk even though it’s just a reflex!

once they can actually put weight on their legs they shouldn’t have this reflex anymore

21
Q

which of the following is NOT a developmental domain that is monitored?

A. hearing

B. language

C. motor skills

D. personal and social skills

A

A. hearing

language, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, personal/social skills, cognitive are what we monitor

22
Q

A. hearing

B. language

C. motor skills

D. personal and social skills

A

A. hearing

language, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, personal/social skills, cognitive are what we monitor

23
Q

when do you screen for developmental domain delays?

A

all domains should be screened at 9, 18 and 30 months

you need to have developmental surveillance and you need a skilled observer to do this

24
Q

when do you screen for developmental domain delays?

A

all developmental domains should be screened at 9, 18 and 30 months by using the ASQ or PEDS tool

you need to have developmental surveillance and you need a skilled observer to do this

25
Q

when do you screen for autism?

A

24 and 30 months

use the standardized tool of the MCHAT-R

26
Q

when do you screen for developmental domain delays?

A

all developmental domains should be screened at 9, 18 and 30 months by using the ASQ or PEDS tool

you need to have developmental surveillance and you need a skilled observer to do this aka you and also ask the caregivers!

27
Q

when do you screen for developmental domain delays?

A

all developmental domains should be screened at 9, 18 and 30 months by using the ASQ or PEDS tool

we have set screening because up to 20% of developmental delays can be missed!

you need to have developmental surveillance and you need a skilled observer to do this aka you and also ask the caregivers!

28
Q

when do you screen for developmental domain delays?

A

all developmental domains should be screened at 9, 18 and 30 months by using the ASQ or PEDS tool

we have set screening because up to 20% of developmental delays can be missed!

there is a quick questionnaire you give to parents and if they’re in the white zone, they’re good to go – if they’re in the grey zone give some suggestions for improvement – if they’re in the black zone then they need a full workup for whatever domain it is

you need to have developmental surveillance and you need a skilled observer to do this aka you and also ask the caregivers!

29
Q

when do you screen for autism?

A

24 and 30 months

use the standardized tool of the MCHAT-R –> only accurate till 36 months

30
Q

what is a developmental diagnostic assessment?

A

full test of all the developmental domains

can take up to 2.5 hrs

not done by normal pediatrician, go to a specialist

can also be used to monitor intervention success

31
Q

what do you do when there is a speech delay?

A

hearing evaluation

32
Q

what do you do when there is a motor delay?

A

PT/OT evaluation

33
Q

what do you do when there is a cognitive delay?

A

developmental assessment

34
Q

what do you do when there is a person/social delay?

A

developmental assessment

35
Q

what is Help Me Grow?

A

early intervention program in Ohio

birth-3 years old

Head Start takes over at 3-5 years old then schools take over

36
Q

what is global developmental delay?

A

delay in all 5 developmental domains

37
Q

what is prematurity? how do you manage them?

A

gestational age vs. chronological age

they need early intervention regardless of development!

monitor with serial developmental assessments

NICU follow-up clinics for 2 years

38
Q

which toxin exposures in utero lead to developmental delays?

A
  1. opiates
  2. fetal alcohol syndrome
  3. prescription drugs like antiepileptics
  4. lead
  5. lack of physical/emotional stimuli
39
Q

T/F: if a child is born prematurely you should wait to start developmental assessments until 9 months

A

false

you should start them immediately! early intervention is key!!

40
Q

which antiepileptic drug if taken during pregnancy is associated with neurodevelopment delay?

A. levetiracetam

B. carbamazepine

C. valproic acid

D. phenytoin

A

C. valproic acid

the others are teratogenic too but not specifically for neurodevelopmental delays

41
Q

what are the developmental milestones between birth and 5 years old?

A

2 months: lifts head/chest when prone, eyes track past the midline, alerts to sound and smiles, recognizes parent

4 months: rolls front to back, grasps a rattle, laughs and is soothed by parents voice, orients head to direction of a voice

6 months: sits with little or no support, reaches with one hand and transfers objects, babbles and develops stranger anxiety, feeds self

9 months: pulls to stand, developing immature pincer grams and bangs two objects together, says mama/dada indiscriminately and waves bye, plays tester games like pattie cake

12 months: stands/walks alone, fine pincer grasp, one word and follows one step commands with a gesture, points to desired object

15 months: stoops and recovers, scribbles in imitation, uses 4-5 words, uses spoon and cup and turns pages in a book

18 months: runs well, builds a tower of 3 cubes, points to 1-3 body parts, helps in the house

9 months

43
Q

you’re seeing a 12 month old for her well baby check up. she can say 2 words, take a few steps unsupported, has a fine pincer grasp and has developed stranger anxiety, in which domain is there a developmental delay?
