WEEK 15 Flashcards
development from lecture and some of ATI also some info over ABG stuff
human genome project
A National Institutes of Health funded research that was able to identify how types of human behavior may be traced to certain strands of DNA located on specific chromosomes.
what are the universal principles of human growth and development
cephalocaudal principle
proximodorsal principle
simple to complex
continuous process
general to specific
individualized rates
cephalocaudal principle
Human development follows a head-to-toe progression. Infants gain control over their neck and head before they can control their extremities.
proximodorsal principle
Human development progresses from the center of the body in an outward direction. The spine develops first, followed by extremities, then fingers and toes.
simple to complex
Human development evolves in an orderly fashion from simple to complex. Infants accomplish head control before they are able to crawl.
continous process
Human development is a continuous process characterized by periods of growth spurts and periods of slow and steady growth.
general to specific
Human development occurs from large muscle movement to more refined muscle movements.
individualized rates
Human development varies from individual to individual. Each person has their own growth timetable and rate of development.
conception
When a single male sperm cell penetrates and successfully fertilizes the female egg.
what is prenatal development followed by
newborn
infancy
childhood
adolescent stages
prenatal development
conception to birth takes an average of 38-40 weeks
zygote
embryo
fetus
apgar score
Uses 5 indicators (appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respirations) to quickly determine whether a newborn requires immediate medical care at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth.
The highest (best) possible Apgar score is 10, but a score of 7 or higher is considered normal. Apgar scores may be influenced by gestational age, birth weight, maternal medication or anesthesia use, and congenital anomalies. They are intended to help practitioners quickly determine whether a newborn requires immediate medical care and are not designed to predict long-term health issues.
Apgar score: what do certain scores mean?
A- apperanace (skin color)
P- pulse
G- grimace
A- activity
R- respirations
what is a typical neonate respiration rate
30 to 60 breaths per mintue
what is a typical neonate BP and HR
BP- 60-80/40-50
HR- 110-160
infancy
Is a stage of development that occurs from 2 days of age through the first year of life.
12 hours of sleep a day
age where vaccines are given
toddlerhood
Is a developmental period that typically occurs from 12 months of age until 36 months of age.
begins to walk and learn to walk and run with ease
motor skills more refined
Sort the following findings into the concerning (not achieving expected growth and development) or expected (achieving expected growth and development) group for a 6-month-old infant.
expected- one tooth is present, infant sits with support, anterior fontanel is present
concerning- birth weight has tripled
preschool age
Is a stage of early childhood development which generally refers to children from ages 3 to 6 years old.
10-12 hours of sleep per day including naps
dentist every 6 months
