Match the following transition phases of newborn care with their respective timeframes:

Phase 1 = Immediate care after birth; from birth to 1 hour Phase 2 = From 1 to 3 hours after birth Phase 3 = From 2 to 12 hours after birth Phase 4 = From 12 to 24 hours after birth Signup and view all the answers

Match the following initial care tasks of a newborn with their descriptions:

Maintaining thermoregulation = Ensuring the baby's body temperature remains stable Maintaining cardiorespiratory function = Monitoring the baby's heart and lung functions Observing and documenting for urination and/or passage of meconium = Recording the baby's first urine and stool Identifying the mother, the father or partner, and the newborn = Confirming the identities of the family members Signup and view all the answers

Match the following actions related to newborn care with their purposes:

Performing and documenting a brief assessment for major anomalies = Checking for any significant physical abnormalities Encouraging bonding and breastfeeding = Promoting attachment between parents and child, and initiating feeding Wearing gloves and fluid-resistant cover gowns when handling the newborn = Ensuring infection control measures are followed Giving the infant's first bath after initial care = Cleaning off blood and amniotic fluid from the baby Signup and view all the answers

Match the following consequences in newborns with their causes:

Hypothermia leading to hypoglycemia = Low body temperature using up glucose for heat generation Hypoglycemia causing neurological problems = Low blood glucose affecting the newborn's nervous system Maintaining a neutral thermal environment reducing heat loss = Minimizing oxygen consumption needs in infants Acrocyanosis as a potential issue = Temporary bluish discoloration due to immature circulation Signup and view all the answers

Match the following statements about caregivers with their responsibilities during initial care of a newborn:

All caregivers wearing gloves and fluid-resistant cover gowns = Ensuring proper hygiene and infection prevention Placing a hat on the infant's head after drying = Helping maintain the baby's body temperature Drying the infant with a warm towel = Preventing heat loss and keeping the baby comfortable Encouraging bonding and breastfeeding after initial care = Promoting parent-child attachment and initiating feeding Signup and view all the answers

Match the following terms related to newborn health with their explanations:

Hypothermia in newborns leading to hypoglycemia = Low body temperature causing low blood sugar levels Narcan (naloxone) helping reverse respiratory depression in newborns = Reversing opioid effects on breathing in infants Encouraging bonding and breastfeeding after initial care tasks = Promoting parent-infant attachment and initiating feeding post-birth Observing for urination and meconium passage in infants = Monitoring the baby's first urine output and stool passage Signup and view all the answers

Match the following actions with the appropriate steps for maintaining a neutral thermal environment for a newborn:

Drying the infant with a warm towel = To prevent heat loss caused by evaporation of amniotic fluid on the skin Placing a hat on the infant's head after drying = To prevent significant heat loss from the largest body surface area Wrapping the infant in warm blankets = When taken out of the warmer to prevent heat loss Skin-to-skin contact between mother and newborn = Can also prevent heat loss during bonding or breastfeeding Signup and view all the answers

Match the following signs of respiratory distress with their descriptions:

Persistent cyanosis (other than hands and feet) = Indicates inadequate oxygenation Grunting respirations = A noise heard as the infant exhales without a stethoscope Flaring of the nostrils = An indication of increased work of breathing Retractions under the sternum or between the ribs = Sign of increased respiratory effort Signup and view all the answers

Match the following Apgar score factors with their evaluation order:

Heart rate = Ranked as the most important factor Respiratory effort = Evaluated as the second factor Muscle tone = Third in importance for scoring Reflex response to stimulation on soles of feet = Evaluated before skin color in ranking Signup and view all the answers

Match the following statements about newborn care with their corresponding actions:

First bath delayed until temperature stabilized = Bath is given when temperature is between 36.5°C to 37°C Suctioning before cutting cord = May be initiated by health care provider before cord is cut Application of cord clamp = Done when infant is stable in radiant warmer Administration of oxygen by facemask = Performed until infant is crying vigorously Signup and view all the answers

Match the following physiological responses with their descriptions:

Acrocyanosis = Normal bluish color on hands and feet due to sluggish circulation Spontaneous breathing after birth = Usually begins within a few seconds and helps oxygenate tissues Rapid change in skin color at birth = From cyanotic to pink as infant cries and oxygenates properly Increased heart rate and respiratory rate at birth = Physiological adaptations to extrauterine life Signup and view all the answers
