    • Newborn care visits should wait at least 24 hours post-birth for initial screenings.
    • Monitor head circumference and assess fontanel size: anterior is 2-3 cm, posterior is 1 cm.
    • Cephalohematoma indicates deep blood collection not crossing suture lines; caput succedaneum shows superficial swelling crossing suture lines.

    Newborn HEENT Assessment

    • Ensure facial symmetry to rule out nerve damage from forceps delivery.
    • Evaluate eyes for symmetry and size; examine ears for abnormalities due to in-utero development.
    • Check nasal patency as infants breathe primarily through their noses.

    Newborn Respiratory and Cardiac Assessment

    • Normal respiratory rate for newborns: 30-60 breaths per minute.
    • Evaluate for common early respiratory issues in the first 12 hours post-birth.
    • Heart rate should be between 100-190 bpm with common murmurs in initial days.

    Newborn Abdominal and GU Assessment

    • Umbilical cord typically contains 2 arteries and 1 vein; umbilical hernia is normal.
    • For circumcised infants, clean with a wet cotton ball and apply petroleum jelly.

    Newborn Extremities and Neuro Assessment

    • Clavicle fractures are a common incidence; perform Barlow and Ortolani tests for hip dysplasia.
    • Assess neonatal tone, symmetry, and movement, along with reflexes.

    Newborn Skin Assessment

    • Monitor for port-wine stains and hemangiomas; refer if near the eye or affecting airway.

    When to Call Provider for Newborns

    • Rectal temperature above 100°F or 99.5°F if mother is GBS positive.
    • Monitor for poor feeding and irritability.
    • Look out for breathing difficulties.

    Infant Health Promotion and Maintenance

    • Anterior fontanel typically closes between 12-18 weeks, posterior between 6-8 weeks.
    • Consistency in growth percentiles for weight, length, and head circumference is crucial.
    • Recommended immunizations during visits include DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV, HBV, and rotavirus.

    Adolescent Health Maintenance

    • For females, pubarche occurs around 11 years; menarche between 9-15 years.
    • Males experience a significant increase in muscle mass; gynecomastia may occur but usually resolves.
    • Early adolescent challenges include mood swings and body consciousness; emphasize emotional coping strategies.
    • Immunizations include TDaP, MCV4, and HPV.

    Sexuality and Gender Identity Development

    • Early childhood involves confusion about gender and teaching about private parts.
    • Middle childhood includes appropriate terminology for body parts and introduction to gender differences.
    • Late adolescence focuses on sexual expression and responsibility.

    Fever in Children

    • Fevers above 105°F are often non-infectious. Consider appropriate treatments like amoxicillin for infections within 10 days.
    • Chronic rhinosinusitis lasts for 12 weeks or longer, while allergic rhinitis is triggered by IgE-mediated responses.

    Throat and Skin Conditions

    • Pharyngitis signs include airway patency; Group A Streptococcus requires antibiotics like amoxicillin.
    • Impetigo features gold-colored crusts, treated with mupirocin or antibiotics if systemic symptoms are present.
