    Study Notes

    Newborn Care and Pediatric Vaccinations

    • Newborns may have vernix caseosa, lanugo hair, milia, acrocyanosis, Mongolian spots, polydactyly, syndactyly, and pseudo menstruation.
    • The immune system of a newborn receives passive immunity via the placenta and colostrum.
    • The stomach capacity of a newborn is less than 10 mL at birth, increasing to about 90 mL by day 10, and breastfeeding should be done every 2 to 3 hours.
    • Meconium stool is greenish black with a thick, sticky consistency and is usually passed within the first 24 hours of life.
    • Newborns should be prevented from heat loss due to evaporation, radiation, convection, and conduction.
    • Newborn reflexes include sucking and rooting, Moro reflex, and Babinski sign.
    • Surfactant, produced by the alveolar epithelium, helps establish respiration and is complete in the lungs at gestation age 28 weeks.
    • Surfactant replacement therapy is used to treat serious lung disorders caused by immaturity and inability to produce surfactant.
    • Physiological jaundice appears after the first 24 hours in full-term newborns and peaks on about the fifth day of life, whereas pathological jaundice occurs during the first 24 hours.
    • High-risk conditions for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) include prone position and use of soft bedding, and infants should be placed in the supine position for sleep to prevent SIDS.
    • Phototherapy is used to treat hyperbilirubinemia, and interventions include keeping the newborn well-hydrated, frequent feeding, and monitoring during treatment.
    • MMR vaccine is administered subcutaneously in the outer aspect of the upper arm, and DTP vaccine is administered intramuscularly.

    Newborn Nursing Assessment and Care

    • Newborn infants have sterile bowels, and vitamin K promotes the growth of bacteria in the bowel.
    • A nurse in a newborn nursery receives a phone call to prepare for the admission of a 43-week-gestation newborn with low Apgar scores of 1 and 4.
    • The highest priority for the nurse should be to connect the resuscitation bag to the oxygen outlet.
    • The procedure for administering erythromycin ointment into the eyes of a neonate involves instilling the ointment into each of the neonate's conjunctival sacs within one hour after birth.
    • The primary critical observation for Apgar scoring is the heart rate.
    • When performing a newborn assessment, the nurse should measure the vital signs in the sequence of respirations, pulse, and temperature.
    • The priority nursing diagnosis for a newborn with small for gestational age is risk for altered nutrition less than body requirement related to increased metabolic needs.
    • The normal heart rate of a newborn within three minutes after birth may range between 120 and 160.
    • The expected respiratory rate of a neonate within three minutes of birth may be as high as 50 to 60 per minute.
    • A healthy newborn's respirations are irregular, initiated by chest wall, 30-60 per minute, and deep.
    • Physiological jaundice in a 4-day-old baby is due to immature hepatic function.
    • To limit the development of hyperbilirubinemia in the neonate, the plan of care should include monitoring for the passage of meconium each shift.

    Newborn Nursing Assessment and Care

    • A nurse anticipates the medications for an infant, considering options such as Prednisone, Ibuprofen, Penicillin, and Albuterol.
    • A neonate's APGAR score is assessed based on heart rate, breathing, muscle tone, reflex irritability, and color, with a score of 8 indicating the described symptoms.
    • A cephalhematoma in a newborn may indicate a risk of developing increased intracranial pressure.
    • Vital signs of a newborn, such as a heart rate of 170, respiratory rate of 70, and temperature of 36, may indicate cold distress.
    • Gastroenteritis in children is commonly caused by organisms like Rotavirus, Bacillus magissterium, Shigella, or Staphylococcus.
    • In cases of potential abuse, observations such as age-inappropriate injuries, pattern and shape of injury, malnourishment, or improper explanation of the injury can lead to suspicion.
    • Caput succedaneum in a newborn requires the highest nursing priority intervention, such as turning on the radiant warmer.
    • A soft edema over the vertex of a newborn, crossing the suture line, may indicate cephalohematoma.
    • The neonate's reaction of throwing out its arms, opening hands, and crying when bumped indicates the startle reflex.
    • Heat loss near a cold window for a neonate is primarily due to radiation.
    • To prevent heat loss from evaporation in a newborn, measures such as drying the infant in a warm blanket are taken.
    • Signs of respiratory distress syndrome in a preterm newborn include tachypnea, retractions, and acrocyanosis.
