Study Notes
Newborn Infant Assessment
- Newborn infant's sleep schedule described as sporadic with alternating short naps and longer sleep periods
- Newborns have irregular sleep patterns due to small stomach capacity and rapid growth needs
- Erratic sleep cycle is typical for infants in early stages due to underdeveloped sleep-wake cycles
- Newborns experience shorter sleep cycles with frequent awakenings for hunger, discomfort, or parental care
- Physical assessment reveals normal body built, grooming, posture, and absence of illness or distress
- Vital signs show consistent temperature, fetal heart rate, and respiratory rate within normal range
- Skin color is light brown, evenly distributed, warm, and free from lesions, indicating normalcy
- Hair is lustrous, silky, and dark, with the presence of lanugo, which is a normal feature in newborns
- Fingernails are soft, smooth, and extend over the fingertips, with normal capillary refill
- Head is normocephalic, symmetric, with soft fontanels and proportionate, symmetric face
- Newborn's skin color may change over time and should settle fully at around 20 months old
- Infant's hair texture and color can vary widely, with soft, fine hair being typical, especially in premature babies
