Question
Answer
lungs   site of gas exchange  
🗑
heart circulation   pressure increase in left atrium causing foreman ovale to close  
🗑
hepatic portal   ductus venosus closes, hepatic portal circulation begins  
🗑
thermoregulation   body temperature is maintained through flexed posture and brown fat  
🗑
120-180 beats per minute   heart rate first few minutes of birth; decreases to average 120 bpm  
🗑
cord blood   natures first stem cell trasnfplant because it possess regenerative properties  
🗑
surfactant   surface tension reducing lipoprotein -prevents alveolar collapse  
🗑
periodic breathing   cessation of breathing that lasts 5-10 seconds without changes in color or heart rate  
🗑
thin skin with blood vessels close to the surface, lack of shivering ability limited stores of glucose, lack of subcutaneous fat   heat loss  
🗑
newborn temperature   may decrease 3-5 degrees within minutes 99.6  
🗑
conduction   trasnsfer of heat from one object to another when the 2 objects are in direct contact with each other-heat fluctuations from the newborn surgace to other surfaces such as cold mattress, scale  
🗑
convection   flow of heat from the body surface to cooler surrounding air or to air circulating over a body surface. cool breeze from an open door  
🗑
evaporation   loss of heat when a liquid is converted to a vapor.amniotic fluid evaporating into the air causing this type of heat loss - apply hats and blankets  
🗑
radiation   loss of body heat to cooler, solid surfaces that are in proximity but not in direct contact - placing the newbown in a isolette next to a cold window  
🗑
overheating   isolette that is too warm or one that is left too close to a sunny window can cause this  
🗑
non shivering thermogenesis   primary method of heat production-which brown fat (adipose tissue) is oxidized is response to cold exposure  
🗑
jaundice   icterus-yellowing of skin , sclera, and mucous membranes due to increase bilirubin  
🗑
meconium   newborns first stool; amniotic cluid, shed mucosal cells and intestinal secretions and blood  
🗑
feeding   small frequent feedings  
🗑
breast fed stool   yellow gold loose and stringy -  
🗑
formula fed   yellow, yellow green or greenish and loose pasty or formed with an unpleasant odor  
🗑
acquired immunity   2 primary processes - development of circulating antibodies and formation of activated lymphocytes used to destroy foreign invaders  
🗑
IgA   found in breast milk, causing a significant immunologic advantage  
🗑
hearing   reponds to noice by turning to sound  
🗑
taste   ability to distinguish between sweet and sour by 72 hours old  
🗑
smell   knows difference between moms breast milk and others  
🗑
touch   sensitive to pain, tactile stimuli  
🗑
vision   incomplete at birth; close objects 8-10 inches  
🗑
reflex   involuntary muscular reponse to a sensory stimulus  
🗑
first period of rectivity   birth and may last from 30 min to 2 hours-alert, moving and may appear hungry- good to intiate breast feeding now  
🗑
decreased reponsiveness   30-120 minutes of age -good for mom and newborn to stay close and rest  
🗑
second period of reactivity   2-8 hours - newborn passes meconium-teaching about feeding and diaper changing techinique is reinforced now  
🗑
neurobehavioral response   how they react to the environement - orientation, habituation, motor maturity, social behaviors and self-quieting ability  
🗑
orientation   response to stimuli  
🗑
habituation   process and respons to visual and auditory stimuli  
🗑
motor maturity   control and coordinate movement  
🗑
self-quieting ability   ability to quiet and comfort themselves  
🗑
social behaviors   cuddling/snuggling into the arms of the parent when held-  
🗑
neonatal period   first 28 days of life  
🗑
