GBS occurs during what age - ANSWERS-1 week of life
Signs of neonatal dehyrdation - ANSWERS-Suken eyes, cold feet, excessive sleepiness, fussiness,
suken fontanelles
Biophysical Profile (BPP) - ANSWERS-Assessment of five variables in the fetus that help to
evaluate fetal risk: breathing movement, body movement, tone, amniotic fluid volume, and
fetal heart rate reactivity.
Caput Succedaneum - ANSWERS-Edema under scalp- pressure part of head against the cervix
How does caput succedaneum feel - ANSWERS-soft, spongy, crosses suture lines
When does caput succedaneum resolve? - ANSWERS-in a few days
