Q

considerations when pt has had duramorph

A

count RR q1hour x 24 hours

24
Q

letting go

A

can take up to 1-2 weeks

incorporates NB into family system

25
Q

lochia

A

scant, small, moderate, heavy - in relationship to time

pad completely saturate is about 100 ml’s

26
Q

diastasis of rectus abdominus muscle

A

separates for the uterus to grow
surgical mesh may be used for large ones
when turns on side, stomach feels weird
touch chin to chest - makes muscle contract and can palpate edges

27
Q

immediate assessment and care of NB

A

establish respirations
prevent heat loss - dry baby, skin to skin
APGAR at 1 min and 5 min
safety - ID bands
promote parental attachment - skin to skin for 2 hours or until first feeding
meds - vit K, erythromycin ointment

28
Q

establishment of respirations

A

most critcial adjustment for NB right after birth
result of pressure change, chilling, noise, light, etc..
normal = 30-60/minute, irregular, count 60 seconds

29
Q

signs of respiratory distress

A

grunting (early sign)
nasal flaring (early sign)
retractions (later sign)
cyanosis (even later sign)

30
Q

brown fat

A

source of heat unique to NB’s
greater thermogenic activity than regular fat
prematures have less than term - increased risk heat loss
don’t want them to have to use this
KEEP WARM!

31
Q

types of heat loss

A

evaporation
conduction
convection
radiation

32
Q

evaporation

A

occurs when liquid is converted to vapor
vaporization of moisture from skin after birth

dry baby after birth/bath

33
Q

conduction

A

the loss of heat from warm body surface to cooler surfaces in direct contact - placing infants on cold scale, blankets, wet linens, x-ray plates

place infant on pre-warmed warmer/scale
skin to skin with mom/dad
place barrier

34
Q

convection

A

flow of heat from the body surface to cooler ambient air, contact with cold air
cold drafts, O2 admin

wrap infant in blankets, hats
increase room temp
look at placement of baby in terms of air system

35
Q

radiation

A

the loss of heat from the body surface to a cooler solid surface NOT in direct contact, but in relative proximity, a vacuum
infant near cold object

keep infant away from cold windows or walls

36
Q

normal NB temp ranges

A

97.6-99 axillary

if less, radiant warmer

37
Q

normal NB HR ranges

A

(100 - APGAR) 110-160
count full minute
apical

38
Q

APGAR

A
activity - muscle tone
pulse
grimace - reflex irritability
appearance - skin color
respirations
39
Q

A

absent - 0
arms and legs flexed - 1
active movement - 2

40
Q

pulse APGAR scoring

A

absent - 0
below 100 - 1
above 100 - 2

41
Q

no response - 0
grimace - 1
sneeze, cough, pull away - 2

42
Q

appearance - color APGAR scoring

A

blue-gray, pale all over - 0
normal, except for extremities - 1
normal over entire body - 2

43
Q

respirations APGAR scoring

A

absent - 0
slow, irregular - 1
good, crying - 2

44
Q

assessment of the NB at time of birth

A
resp
apical pulse
temp
weight, length, head circumference
head to toe
45
Q

vernix caseosa

A

A white cheesy substance that covers and protects the skin of the fetus and is still all over the skin of a baby at birth

46
Q

lanugo

A

fine, soft hair, especially that which covers the body and limbs of a human fetus or newborn.

47
Q

milia

A

tiny white bumps that appear across a baby’s nose, chin or cheeks. Milia are common in newborns but can occur at any age. You can’t prevent milia. And no treatment is needed because they usually disappear on their own in a few weeks or months.

48
Q

mongolian spots

A

very common in any part of the body of dark-skinned babies. They are flat, gray-blue in color (almost looking like a bruise), and can be small or large. They are caused by some pigment that didn’t make it to the top layer when baby’s skin was being formed.

49
Q

flammeus nevus (port wine stain, stork bite)

A

a large congenital vascular malformation nevus having a purplish color; it is usually found on the head and neck and persists throughout life

A

a common harmless rash that appears in at least half of all infants who are carried to term

51
Q

head assessment

A

molding

pressure from vaginal birth
will reabsorb in a few days
crosses suture line
appears at birth
53
Q

cephalhematoma
