jaundice
Pathological or physiological jaundice?
BAD
- r/t other condition/pathology
- Occurs within the first 24 hours of life
- Treatment - May use phototherapy or blood transfusion
Pathological jaundice = BAD
Pathological or physiological jaundice?
- Occurs after the first 24 hours of life
- Treatment – increase feedings 8-12 times/day, may use phototherapy
physiological jaundice
Examples of Infants at greatest risk of developing physiological jaundice or pathological jaundice?
- 2 day old infants born at 35 weeks
- 2 day old SGA baby who is having difficulty breastfeeding
- 2 day old baby diagnosed with a cephalhematoma
Examples of Infants at greatest risk of developing physiological jaundice
- 2 day old infants born at 35 weeks = preterm liver
- 2 day old SGA baby who is having difficulty breastfeeding = if they aren’t eating then they’re not pooping, and that’s how they get rid of excess bilirubin
- 2 day old baby diagnosed with a cephalhematoma = collection of blood
Nursing care for jaundice
T/F
- Keep baby warm 97.7 F +
- Monitor amount of stools

- Increase Frequency of feeding 8-12 x in 24 hours – stimulates gut to poop bilirubin out
- phototherapy
- Wear diaper
- Eye protection
- Monitor hydration
- Allow for bonding

Modified Finnegan neonatal abstinence score sheet
T/F
- Assessment tool
- Scores severity of withdrawal from opioids
- Monitors and documents infants clinical response to withdrawal
- 21 most frequently observed symptoms
- Each symptom assigned score, all symptoms observed during the scoring interval are added together for the total score
- Scoring is dynamic, not static
all true
which infant would get a finnegan score SATA

X- All infants with low socioeconomic parents
when to do finnegan score
-baseline =___ hours after birth
-Continue scoring every 4 hours, before/after each feeding?
-Scores 8 or +
- Score every 2 hours until NAS meds started
- Score every 4 hours or after every feeding while on NAS meds
When to score
- 2 hours after birth for baseline
- Continue scoring every 4 hours, after each feeding
- Scores 8 or +
- Score every 2 hours until NAS meds started
