MCN Final Review 3 Flashcards
Laboratory of Neonatal
Heel Stick Test
for hematocrit and hemoglobin determination
Heel Stick Test
for detection for hypoglycemia
glucometer
Heel Stick Test determine:
- Anemia
- Polycythemia
- Hypoglycemia
decrease in RBC
Anemia
Anemia maybe cause by
hypervolemia
hypervolemia result of abrupt
Placenta or placenta Previa
increase in RBC
polycythemia
polucythemiadue is excessive flow of blood into the infant from the
due to
umbilical cord
late clamping of umbilical cord
decrease in blood sugar
hypoglycemia
normal hematocrit for the first hour
50-55%
hypoglycemia is important to treat quickly
may cause brain damage
hypoglycemia can be treated by
breast feeding , IV glucose D5050
Sign and symptoms of Hypoglycemia
Lethargy - weakness
Seizures
Systemic Evaluation Physiologic Function of the Newborn
- Cardio System
- Respiratory System
- Gastrointestinal System
- Urinary System
- Immune System
- Neuro muscular System
Cardio Vascular System
- Functional closure of the fetal accessory structure
- Transition from fetal to post natal circulation
- Cardio Vascular changes depends on 2 Factors
Functional closure of the fetal accessory structure
1 Year
1 Month
2 Months
2-3 Months
Transition from fetal to post natal circulation Fetal to Adult? Fetal Accessory Structure 1. Foramen Ovale 2. Ductus Arteriosus 3. Ductus Venosus 4. Umbilical Vein / Umbilical Artery
Adult Structure
- Fosa Ovalis Right Atrium to Left Atrium
- Ligamentum Arteriosum Pulmonary to Aorta
- Ligamentum Venosum Umbilical vein to Liver
- Ligamentum Teres
Cardio Vascular changes depends on 2 Factors
- Lung Expansion
2. Cutting of the umbilical cord
closure of Ductus Arteriosus / Foramen Ovale
Lung Expansion
causes the closure of Ductus Venosus/ Umbilical Vein / Umbilical Artery
Cutting of the umbilical cord
- promote decrease pressure of the right side of the heart which result to the closure of the Ductus Venosus/ Umbilical Vein / Umbilical Artery

*Normal Blood Sugar of an adult
70-220 mg/dL
Normal Blood sugar of newborn
45-60 mg/dL
increase WBC
decrease WBC
Leukocytosis
Leukopenia
for coagulation
Vitamin K
hours for normal flora to accumulate and for vitamin K to be synthesize
24 hours
route for Vit K
Vastus Lateralies IM
Respiratory System
* The first breath of the newborn is initiated by the combination of several factors
- Decrease blood oxygen level
- Increase in blood carbon dioxide level
- Decrease blood PH
- Temperature change
Respiratory System
- The first breath of the newborn is initiated by the combination of several factors
- Respiratory system is not fully develop as adult
- Obligatory Nose Breather
GastroIntestinal System
Sterile at birth
normal bacterias are not yet present in digestive tract
no intake of food
bacteria maybe culture from the intestinal tract with in about
5-24 hours after
5 Ways Introduce bacteria to the newborn
- breast milk
- airborne
- contact with the breast
- Mouth
- Hospital Bedding
- Vaginal Secretions at birth
Importace of accumulation of bacteria in GI
necessary for the digestion and synthesis of Vit K
Stomach Hold
60-90mL
Type of stool
- Meconium
- Transitional
- Milk Stool or Usual Stool
why breast milk is sweet smelly
cause it contains lactic acid-microorganism
Immune System
*Largely depends on 3 immunoglobulins / antibodies
1. Immunoglobulin g IgG 2. Immunoglobulin a IgA 3. Immunoglobulin m IgM
- consider as the most abundant antibody/immunoglobulin,
- can be found in all body fluids,
- crosses the placenta and
- it contains bacterial and viral antibodies
Immunoglobulin g
IgG
- contain in the colostrum and breast milk,
- can’t cross the placenta,
- prevents bacterial growth in the gastrointestinal tract
- natural passive immunity
Immunoglobulin a
IgA
- found in blood and limp fluid
- first immunoglobulin to respond to infection * Immune system of the newborn largely depends on the 3 antibodies
Immunoglobulin m
IgM
Presence of the different newborn reflexes is a must, if absence of newborn reflexes it indicates neurologic/central nervous system problem or conditions
Neuro Muscular System
17 Reflexes
- Rooting Reflex
- Tonic Neck Reflex
- Palmar
- Moro Reflex
- Stepping Reflex
- Walking Reflex
- Galant or Trunk incurbation Reflex
- Magnet Reflex
- Landau Reflex
- Deep Tendone Reflex
- Babinski reflex
- Swallowing
- Extrusion or protrusion
- Sucking
- Blink Reflex
- Cross extension reflex
3 Reflex that test spinal cord injury
- Moro Reflex
- Babinski Reflex
- Magnet Reflex
3 Reflex to test feeding Reflex
- Rooting Reflex
- Sucking Reflex
- Swallowing Reflex
reflex to serve to help the baby find food. cheek and mouth is being stroke next or close to the mouth and normally baby will turn her/his head that direction.
* disappears about the
Rooting Reflex
6 weeks or 1 1/2 month
- supine position and turn the head on one side, extremities will extend and flex: facing side - extend, back - flex
- disappears about
Tonic Neck Reflex

*Plantar
*after 1st birthday usually 8-9 months in preparation to walking

*Babinski reflex
food that reaches the posterior portion of the tongue is automatically swallow
Swallowing
the newborn extrude any substance that is place on the anterior portion of the tongue
- protection reflex from prevention of swallowing inedible substances
- feeding reflex
Extrusion or protrusion
- when a newborn lips attached the baby makes a sucking motion
- feeding reflex
Sucking
protect the eye from any object coming near it.
Blink Relfex
- one leg of a newborn lying supine is extended and the sole of that foot is irritated by being rub with a sharp object and that it caused the baby to raise the other leg and extend it as trying to push away the hand irritating the first leg.
- disappears

* 3months
Different sense of the newborn
- Touch
- Hearing
- Vission
- Taste
- Smell
- most developed sense of the newborn
- it is well develop at birth
- they react to painful stimuli
Touch
- the baby can already hear sound inside the mothers womb
- exhibit selective listening to his mothers voice, familiar the voice of the mother
- hearing is acute only - not fully develop
Hearing
- newborn demonstrate sight at birth by blinking at a strong light. or the demonstrate the sense of sight by following a bright light.
- they focus on black and white objects at a distance of 9 to 12 in
- they lose tract of objects easily
Vision
- have the ability to discriminate taste because taste buds develop and function before birth
- newborn prefer sweet fluids to those that are sour or bitter
Taste
- Present as soon as the nose is cleat of mucus and amitotic fluid.
- turns toward their mother’s breast party out of recognition of the smell of breast milk and partly as manifestation of the rooting reflex.
- their ability to respond to odors can be used to document alertness.
- prefer pleasant smells and that they have the ability to learn and remember odor.
