Question
Answer
umbilical cord is clamped   1st breath is taken & lungs begin to function  
🗑
First few min of birth( heart rate)   120-180bpm  
🗑
Heart rate after birth   decrease to an average of 120-130bpm  
🗑
May be hear during the neonatal period as a result of the changing dynamics of the cardiovascular system at birth   Transient ( short time) functional cardiac murmurs  
🗑
resulting from normal laor become stimuli for initating respirations   Hypercapnia, hypoxia & acidosis  
🗑
Surfactant (surface tension- reducing lipoprotein) is found?   in newborns lungs that prevents alveolar collapse  
🗑
Normal Lung functions dependent on surfactant   which permits a decrease in surface tension at the end expiration  
🗑
1 crucial adaptation that the newborn makes at birth?   adjusting from fluid filled intrauterine enviorment to a gaseous exterine enviorment  
🗑
Passage through birth conal allows intermittent compression of the thorax   which helps eliminate the fluid in the lungs  
🗑
Transiet tachypnea   resiratory rate above 60bpm  
🗑
Fluid removed too slowly/incompletely   transiet tachypnea occurs  
🗑
Situations that involve decreased thoracic compression   Cesarean Birth  
🗑
Repirations in newborns   shallow/irregular, range 30-60breaths per min, w/ short periods of apnea(from 15-20sec of not breathing)  
🗑
Signs of repiratory distress to observe   Cyanosis, tachypnea, expiratory grunting, sternal retraction, & nasal flaring  
🗑
Periodic Breathing   the cessation of breathing that last 5-10 seconds w/out changes in color or heart rate  
🗑
Average newborn temp   36.5 to 37.5C (97.9 to 99.7 F)  
🗑
Termoregulation   process of maintainig the balance between heat loss & heat production  
🗑
Nurses play a key role in providing?   An appropriate enviorment to help newborns maintain thermal stability  
🗑
How do newborns lose heat   thin skin w/blood vesels close to surface, Lack sivering ability to produce heat involuntarily, Lack of subcutaneous fat which provides insulation  
🗑
Newborns struggles to maintain body temperature from the moment of birth   when the newborn's wet body is exposed to much cooler enviroment of the birthing room  
🗑
Conduction   transfer of heat from one object to another , ie: a cold mattress, scale , cold hands  
🗑
Convection   the flow of heat from the body surface to cooler surrounding air, ie: open dorrs, windows, fans, air conditioners  
🗑
Evaporation   loss of heat when a liquid is converted to a vapor ie: sweating (drying newborn right after birth important need blankets and cap to prevent evaporation )  
🗑
Radiation   loss of body heat to cooler solid surfaces in close proximity but not in direct contact with the newborn  
🗑
Iron Storage   the term newborn has iorn stores sufficient to last approximately 4-6 months  
🗑
when placenta is lost at birth   maternal glucose supply is cut off, glucose levels decline, glucose main sourse of energy 4 first several hrs, start feedings help stabilize the newborns blood glucose levels  
🗑
Newborns blood glucose levels assesed?   heel stick sample of blood on admission to nursery and again @ 4hrs of age  
🗑
what helps stable the new borns glucose levels?   initiating feedings  
🗑
Jaundice (icterus   yellowing of the skin, scalera, and mucous membranes the results from an increase of bilirubin blood levels  
🗑
meconium   mix of amniotic fluid, shed mucosal cells, interstinal secreations, and blood  
🗑
discription of meconium   greenish -black , usally passed with in 12-24 hrs of birth  
🗑
newborns that are fed earlier   pass stool sooner, which helps reduce bilirubin build up  
🗑
stool of brest fed newborns   yellow gold, loose and stringy/pasty and sour smelling  
🗑
stool offormula fed newborns   yello, yellow- green, or greenis and loose/pasty and an unpleasant odor  
🗑
average voids for newborns   6-8 = adequate fluid intake  
🗑
80% of all circulating antibodies   IgG( major immunoglobuin and most abundant)  
🗑
Major source of IgA   human breast milk  
🗑
vision (least mature sense)   able to focus on objects only in close proximity 7-12inch away  
🗑
vision 2   tracks objects in midline or beyond 90inches  
🗑
Newborns reflexes are assesed?   to evaluate neurologic functions and development  
🗑
first period of reactivity   begins at birth and lasts for 30 min newborn alert and moving may appear hungry  
🗑
apperance of sucking and rooting behaviors   provide a good opportunity for initiating breast feeding  
🗑
second period of reactivity   begins when the newborn awakens and shows interest in enviormental stimuli. lasting avout 2-8 hrs in a normal newborn, b/c heart respiration and peristalsis increases, newborns pass meconium during this time  
🗑
newborns like   human faces and bright shiny objects  
🗑
