Non-sustained jitteriness and tremulousness Choreoathetoid movements of the hands Migrating myoclonus during sleep Facial twitching during sleep
41
how do we test muscle strength?
Ventral suspension Vertical suspension Stepping
42
Stepping
(pelvic girdle strength)
43
Vertical suspension
(shoulder girdle strength)
44
Ventral suspension
(neck and back strength)
45
Newborn can lift and plant her feet on a flat surface when held above it in a standing position
Stepping
46
describe Ventral suspension
Newborn can lift his head and hip gurdle in line with his trunk for a couple of seconds while suspended ventrally
47
– Newborn can be held upright by her axilla with no support for her feet without slipping through the examiner’s hands (A = normal strength, B = weakness)
Vertical suspension
48
how to test CN XI (accessory nerve) – Sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscle functions
cannot be assessed in newborns
49
how to test CN VIII (vestibulocochlear nerve) –
Hearing is assessed by startling or blinking to a loud noise. Balance cannot be assessed in newborns
50
how to test CN III, IV, VI (oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves) –
Observe the spontaneous eye movements. Assess eye muscle function using the Doll’s Eye Phenomenon (vestibular-ocular reflex).
51
what is the Doll’s Eye Phenomenon (vestibular-ocular reflex).
Moving head to the right causes both eyes to deviate to the left, and vice versa. Can also be performed in the vertical direction. Eye movements should be conjugated and full
52
t/f It is normal for newborns to intermittently cross their eyes,
t
53
how far can they see
about 12 inches, the length needed to breastfeeding successfully. blind as a bat or a mole, or well a blind person
54
Successful feeding (sucking and swallowing) requires intact functioning of what CN's
CN 5, 7, 9, 10, 12
55
CN V (trigeminal nerve) – Facial sensation is tested how
assessed by the infant turning his head to the side of the face being stroked
56
CN VII (facial nerve) – Facial motor function is assessed by
sucking ability (dylan has a very prominent facial nerve), symmetry of the nasolabial folds, and being able to tightly close the eyes while crying.
57
what is CN IX and X (glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves) needed for
Both nerves are needed for normal swallowing, palatal movements and gag reflex.
58
what is CN X needed for
normal vocalization and crying
59
what is CN XII (hypoglossal nerve) needed for –
Responsible for normal tongue movements.
60
Deviation of the tongue to one side indicates what?
ipsilateral CN 12 palsy.
61
Atrophy and fasciculation of the tongue are seen in what?
Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy
62
what deep tendon reflexes do we check?
``` Masseter reflex Biceps reflex Brachioradialis reflex Patellar reflex Ankle clonus – 5 to 10 beats is normal Extensor Babinski is normal ```
63
how to test Masseter reflex –
Tapping the mandible just beneath the lower lip causes the open mouth to close
64
how to test Patellar reflex –
Tapping the quadriceps tendon below the patella causes extension at the knee
65
how to test Babinski
normally extensor in newborns (upgoing great toe and fanning of the other toes)
66
how to test Brachioradialis reflex –
Tapping the radial aspect of the forearm causes slight flexion and radial deviation at the wrist and slight supination and flexion at the elbow
67
how to test ankle clonus
5-10 beats of ankle clonus is normal in a newborn. Elicit ankle clonus by swiftly dorsiflexing the foot
68
what are newborn reflexes controlled by?
basal ganglia, brainstem and spinal cord (there are so many cards!!!!)
69
name all the reflexes
``` Gallant reflex rooting reflex grasp reflex sucking reflex asymmetric tonic neck reflex moro reflex ```
70
when do reflexes start and stop
Present at birth and disappear by 4-6 months of age | inhibited by cerebrum
71
is it normal for these reflexes to go past 6 months?
hellllll no.... not good
72
describeMoro reflex –
Sudden dropping of the head in relation to the trunk causes abduction and extension of the arms and opening of the hands, followed by flexion
73
describe Rooting reflex –
Tactile stimulation near the infant’s mouth causes the infant to turn her head and move the mouth in search of food
74
describe Sucking reflex –
Infant will suck on objects placed in the mouth, including a gloved finger, which can be soothing to the newborn during the exam
75
describe Asymmetric tonic neck reflex –
When the newborn is supine, turning her head results in ipsilateral extension of her arm and leg and contralateral flexion (a fencing posture
76
describe Palmer grasp reflex –
Newborn’s hand reflexively closes on an object placed in the palm
77
describe Gallant reflex –
Stroking the paraspinous muscles causes the infant’s trunk to curve toward the ipsilateral side
78
what is seen with normal sensory function?
infant moves when lightly touched and withdrawals from painful or noxious stimuli
79
what are the 5 s's
``` Suck Swaddle Shush Swing Side or stomach ```
80
what is behavior an indication of?
cortical functioning
81
how is behavior assessed?
Habituation | Consolability
82
what is Habituation –
Newborns should stop startling to a loud noise repeated 4 or 5 times
83
what is Consolability –
Upset newborns should be consoled by sucking, swaddling, shushing, swinging, side-lying or stomach position. Newborns with neurologic dysfunction are difficult to console
84
t/f APGAR is done at 1 and 5 minutes of life
true
85
t/f 10 is the highest APGAR score
true
86
acrocyanosis is normal? what is acrocyanosis?
yes it is blue hands and feet
87
the next 6 questions are about new ballard: how is skin ranked from low to high score
decreased translucency and increased wrinkling of the skin
88
lanugo from low to high score
decreased lanugo
89
foot from low to high score
more creases and size increases to greater than 50 mm
90
breast tissue low to high score
larger and more well defined
91
ear and eye low to high score
loss of fusion of the eyelids and firming of the pinna of the ear
92
genital male low to high score
increased rugae and pendulousness of the scrotum
93
genital female low to high score
formation of the labia minora and then the labia majora
94
what are examples of noxious stimuli
gentle shaking ( but tell the parents no baby shaking) gentle pinching, perioral stroking, noise, shining a light in the eyes (you dick)
95
what are choreoathetoid movements and are they normal
circling at the wrist (invisible hand job) yes invisible hand jobs are normal
96
Biceps reflex
Tapping the biceps tendon causes flexion at the elbow elbow
