Module 4 Flashcards
WCC for infants occur when
3-5 days, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months
what happens to the primitive reflexes during infancy
they disappear before purposeful motor skills emerge
what is the first priority of anticipatory guidance?
address concerns of parents
what is the Coombs test
tests for foreign antibodies adhered to infant RBCs (usually in the setting of hemolysis)
what questions about infant self-help should be asked at neonatal WCC
Periods of wakefulness, eye contact, calm when picked up, respond differently to soothing vs alerting touch
what history questions to ask at neonatal WCC
labor and delivery, childcare, blood type, Coombs test, ins/outs, general progression since birth
what verbal language history questions to ask at neonatal WCC
communicate discomfort through crying, facial expression, movement? Move to or calm to parent voice?
gross motor questions to ask at neonatal WCC
move in response to visual or auditory stimuli? Arm and leg movements symmetrical when startled/reflex?
Fine motor questions to ask at neonatal WCC
