Q

What if mom is at hospital, how is she doing kick counts?

A

She is hooked up to EFM and will push a button every time she feels a kick..The button should match the timing of an acceleration on the monitor

  • acceleration= kicks (sign of fetal well being)
  • this is done especially if mom is hypoglycemic

29
Q

Do you have to fast for 1 hr glucose tolerance test?

A

No

30
Q

Who gets 1 hr glucose test and when?

A

ALL clients at 24-28 weeks

31
Q

Describe 1 hr glucose tolerance test and the levels that tell if its good or too high.

A

Pt given 50 g oral glucose solution and blood drawn in 1 hr. If level is less than 140, they are good. If level is greater than 140, then they need follow up with 3 hr test

32
Q

What are patient instructions prior to 3 hr glucose test?

A
  • Eat as many carbs as you want!!

- NPO starting midnight night before test (fasting!!)

33
Q

Describe 3 hr test.

A

You get fasting glucose level. They take 100 g of glucola and you get 1 hour after, 2 hour after, and 3 hour after levels

34
Q

What levels mean you failed 3 hour test?

A

2 or more values that equal or exceed the following:

  • Fasting less than 95
  • 1 hr less than 180
  • 2 hr less than 155
  • 3 hr less than 140
35
Q

What are normal BG fasting levels?

A

65-95

36
Q

What are normal BG levels 1 after a meal?

A

130-140

37
Q

What are normal BG levels 2 hours post meal?

A

Less than 120

38
Q

What are normal BG levels 3 hour post meal?

A

100

39
Q

What test is more definitive: GTT or OGTT?

A

OGTT

40
Q

What does euglycemia mean?

A

Normal glucose

41
Q

What does A1c show?

A

What blood sugar has been like over last 3 months

42
Q

What is the good thing about A1c?

A

A patient can’t “fake” their levels like they can manipulate with a 1 hr or 3 hr test

43
Q

What is good A1c control?

A

2.5-5.9%

44
Q

What is fair A1c control?

A

6-8%

45
Q

What is poor A1c control?

A

Greater than 8%

46
Q

What instructions would the nurse give the diabetic for an exercise program? (3)

A

15-30 min of walking 4-6x/wk (go on walks with your stroller to get ready for baby)

Eat a snack before exercising (protein or complex carb) like PB or cheese and crackers

Check glucose before, during, and after exercise

47

52
Q

Type 1 diabetic..we try and wait to deliver until mom is at ___ weeks. Why would she deliver before that?

A

38.5-40 weeks

she would deliver before if mom had poor metabolic control, worsening HTN disorder, or for a macrocosmic or IUGR baby

Q

Type 1 diabetic interventions: What kind of insulin is infused via IVPB? What is the glucose level goal? How often do we check glucose?

A

Regular insulin–it can be titrated along with fluids

Goal: Less than 140

Check glucose HOURLY

54

- Cephalopelvic disproportion (head too big)

56
Q

Why is infant of a diabetic mom at risk for HYPOglycemia shortly after birth?

A

There has been constant exposure to high circulating levels of glucose. After delivery hyperplasia of fetal pancreas occurs resulting in hyperinsulinemia. Clamping of cord causes blood glucose levels to decrease rapidly in presence of hyperinsulinism.

57
Q

What kind of infant is most commonly affected by hypoglycemia?

A

Macrosomic

58

50-90

60
Q

Less than 45

61
Q

What is the nurse action for a baby who may be hypoglycemia?

Immediately get blood glucose from heel stick within first 2 hours of life

62
Q

What can be done to help elevate BG in baby who is hypoglycemic?

63
Q

What are s/s of baby with hypoglycemia?

A
  • Jittery
  • HIGH pitched cry
  • Tremors
  • Hypotonia
  • Unstable temp–BIGGEST ISSUE
64
Q

Why would infant of a diabetic mom be small instead of large?
