are tachy or bradydysrhythmias common pospartum? | bradydysrhythmias due to increased intravascular volume |
this technique can be used to stimulate uterine contractions | fundal massage |

to prevent postpartum UTI, these interventions are appropriate | increased oral fluid intake, void every 2-3 hours, good hygeine |
the different types of postpartum psychological conditions | blues, depression, psychosis |
these factors stimulate the infants respiratory center during birth and result in the first breath | hypoxia, decreased pH, increased CO2, cool air |
reduces the surface tension in the alveoli and allows them to stay partially open | surfactant |
what happens to fetal lung fluid during and after birth | pushed into the interstitial spaces and absorbed into circulation |
decresed tension in pulmonary vessels and increased tension of perhipeheral vessels results in functional closure of these two shunts shortla after birth | ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale |
this shunt becomes inactive when the umbilical cord is clamped | ductus venosus |
how do newborns generate heat? | increased activity, brown fat (nonshivering thermogenesis) |

what causes pathologic jaundice? | excessive hemolysis following birth |
this jaundice may result from enzymes in breast milk | breast milk jaundice |
this immune globulin crosses the placenta easily | IgG |
this immune globulin is present in breastmilk | IgA |
this immune globulin is produced by the infant | IgM |
deep sleep, little response to stimuli | quiet sleep |
sleep in which the infant is moving and respirations become more irregular | active sleep |
stage between infant sleeping and waking | drowsy |
in this stage the infant is awake and interested in stimuli | quiet alert |
in this stage the infant becomes fussy but is not actively crying | active alert |
this stage is initiated when needs expressed during the active alert phase are not met and the infant becomes difficult to console | crying |
initial assessments on newborns focus on what? | cardiorespiratory status, thermoregulation, physical anomalies |
what does a CV assessment include on an infant | airway, color, heart sounds, pulses, and blood pressure |
what temperature location is preferred for infants? | axillary |

how soon after birth should an infant pass the first stool? | 12-48 hours |
how soon after birth should an infant void? | 12-24 hours |
after first two days, how many wet diapers per day indicated adequate hydration and good kidney function | 6 |
