Study Notes
Newborn with Perinatal Injury or Congenital Malformation
-
Temperature Management: Maintain skin temperature between 36.1°C and 36.7°C (96.8°F and 97.7°F) to minimize cold stress. Continuously monitor temperature and prevent rapid warming or cooling. Use a cap to prevent heat loss from the head.
-
Food and Fluids: Monitor for hypoglycemia. Assess tolerance of oral or tube feedings. Monitor hydration closely and assess for gastric residuals, bowel sounds, changes in stool pattern, and abdominal girth. Monitor weight gain or loss.
-
Respiratory Function: Position infants in a semiprone or side-lying position. Maintain a patent respiratory tract and stimulate breathing as needed. Monitor oxygen therapy and assess respiratory effort. Note signs such as grunting, nasal flaring, cyanosis, and apnea.
Hydrocephalus
-
Manifestations: Large head, delayed development, lack of appetite, tendency to vomit easily, and poor resistance to infection are common. Visual aids depicting enlarged ventricles and a compressed brain are present.
-
Nursing Care (Pre-Op): Measure head circumference daily. Maintain frequent position changes to support the head. Prevent skin breakdown. Observe and record food intake, vomiting, skin condition, and motor abilities. Monitor for signs of increased intracranial pressure (ICP). Note signs such as increased blood pressure, decreased heart rate, and respiratory rate and report to the healthcare provider immediately.
-
Nursing Care (Post-Op): Monitor for signs of increased ICP and infection. Check the operative area for inflammation. Positioning will depend on the fontanelle. Monitor I&O and for fluid overload. Skin assessments. Measure head, chest, and abdomen. Control pain; observe feeding; and keep surgical suture lines clean. Instruct parents to report any signs of infection.
Spina Bifida
-
Prevention: Adequate folic acid intake during pregnancy reduces the risk of spina bifida.
-
Pre-Op Nursing Care: Prevent injury/infection to the sac; cover with sterile dressing and keep moist. Maintain routine newborn care. Record observations. Position infant prone to prevent sac pressure.
-
Post-Op Nursing Care: Perform neurological assessments. Prevent infection. Monitor urological functions. Care for skin. Ensure appropriate feeding. Maintain a latex-free environment. Connect with support resources.
Cleft Lip and Palate
-
Cleft Lip Pre-Op Care: Monitor for signs of oral, respiratory, or systemic infection and report to the RN. Prevent infant sucking motions by using elbow restraints.
-
Cleft Lip and Palate Post-Op Care (general): Prevent sucking. Observe for positioning. Prevents infection and injury. Provide emotional support and pain management.
-
Cleft Palate Goals: Improved feeding, improved speech, improved dental development, nurturing a positive self-image, and instructions to parents for reporting any signs of infection.
Club Foot
- Nursing Care: Splinting/casting start early in the course of treatment. Implement passive stretching exercises. Educate parents.
PKU (Phenylketonuria)
- Safety Alert: PKU is an inherited metabolic disorder. Children with PKU must follow a special diet free of phenylalanine to prevent developmental issues. Foods to avoid include meat, dairy products, nuts, eggs, and cereals.
Down Syndrome
-
Physical Signs: Decreased muscle tone at birth, excess skin on the nape of the neck, flattened nose, upward-slanting eyes, small ears and mouth, wide/short hands/fingers, separated joints between the bones of the skull, single palmar crease, and white spots on the colored part of the eye.
-
Nursing Care: Counseling parents. Involve parents in care-planning: be empathetic and respectful to their grief. Inform and support siblings. Engage parents in open communication. Support family groups or resources like the National Association for Down Syndrome.
Erythroblastosis Fetalis
-
Manifestations: Hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice) is a common manifestation.
-
Treatment: RhoGam administration is used to prevent the condition. Administration typically follows the delivery of a Rh+ infant, as well as at 28th week of pregnancy, and after spontaneous/therapeutic abortion or amniocentesis.
Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
- Nursing Care: Assist with amnioinfusion. Assess respiratory distress. Provide supportive care (warmth). Supplemental oxygen. Energy-conserving care plan. NICU intubation or mechanical ventilation.
Infant of Diabetic Mother
- Nursing Care: Close monitoring of vital signs, early feeding, frequent blood glucose assessments (must be above 40 mg/dL). Monitor for signs of irritability, tremors, and respiratory distress.
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)
- Nursing Care: Swaddling. Maintain quiet environment. Minimize external stimuli. Observe for seizures.
