Exam 3: Maternity
Newborn Care
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The three major fetal shunts that close at birth are the | ductus venosus, foramen ovale, & ductus arteriosis |

| produces jaundice and can cause kernicterus: value at birth less than 3mg, 4-13 mg within 3 days | bilirubin |
| golden yellow and sweet smelling, passes within 4 days of age | breast fed stool |
| soft, pale yellow, & malodorous, irritating to the skin, passes within 4 days of age | formulated fed stool |
| what percent body weight is extracellular fluid? | 40% |
| what percentage of total body weight is excreted each day? | 20% |
| immunoglobulin that crosses placenta, immunity against bacterial toxin, lasts weeks to months | IgG |
| elevation of this immunoglobulin indicates exposure to TORCH infection | IgM |
| this immunoglobulin is found in colostrum, protects respiratory & GI tract | IgA |
| perform physical assessment in a _____ manner | cephalocaudal |
| respirations should be between ______ | 30-60/min |
| heart rate should be between _____ | 120-160 (100-100: sleeping, 180: crying) |
| temperature should be between _____ | 97.7-98.6 F (axillary) |
| blood pressure should range between _____ | 60-80/40-50 |
| maneuvers used during the physical exam to assess the hips for dysplasia | Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers |
| dorsal surface opening on male genitalia | epispadius |
| ventral surface opening on male genitalia | hypospadius |
| very still with regular breathing & strong stimuli needed to awaken | deep or quiet sleep |
| some movement, irregular breathing, and easier to arouse but returns to sleep | REM sleep |
| occasional eye opening with glazed appearance, irregular breathing, and easy to arouse | drowsy state |
| optimum state of arousal | alert state (quiet alert) |
| very active, may be fussy and irritable, and increased sensitivity to disturbing stimuli | active state (active alert) |
| increased motor activity, eyes tightly closed, grimaces present, extreme response to unpleasant stimuli | crying state |
| what test is performed after first breast milk or formula feeding: a state mandated screening test usually done @ discharge | PKU (phenylketonuria) |

| how much fluid should the newborn get per day? | 80-100 ml |
| how much protein should the newborn get per day? | 2-2.5 grams |
| how much iron should the newborn get per day? | 6 mgs |
| how much urine output should the newborn put out per hour? | 1 cc (ml) |
| how long does a breast feeding usually last? and how often should you breast feed? | usually 3-5 minutes (sometimes up to 10 minutes): every 2-3 hours on demand |
| how long does a bottle feeding usually last? and how often should you bottle feed? | usually give 30 ml, then burp: every 3-4 hours on demand |
