Supine Hypotensive Syndrome - correct answers.Dizziness and a drop in blood pressure caused when the mother is in a supine position and the weight of the uterus, infant, placenta, and amniotic fluid compress the inferior vena cava, reducing return of blood to the heart and cardiac output. hypotension in supine patients b/c fetal weight Pediatric Assessment Triangle (PAT) - correct answers.A structured assessment tool that allows you to rapidly form a general impression of the infant or child without touching him or her; consists of assessing appearance, work of breathing, and circulation to the skin. Complications from spinal immobilization - correct ren will need extra padding Anatomical differences in pediatrics - correct answers.Smaller airway, tongue larger in ratio to pharynx than adult, smaller reserve of everything (blood volume, O2, electrolytes, glucose, homeostasis), more flexible (don't break bones as often), compensate better but for a shorter time and decompensate quicker, more susceptible to febrile seizure, weaker immune system Indications for suctioning a newborn - correct answers.Meconium (suction aggressively), amniotic fluid after birth, anything in airway Expected anatomical/physiological changes for each trimester - correct answers.Trimester 1. uterus begins to grow placenta, adds to blood supply and increases HR Trimester 2. leg cramps + heart burn, appetite increase + weight gain Trimester 3. cardiac output increased, vomiting, unstable joints Dysfunctional bleeding in a pregnant patient - correct answers.Ectopic pregnancy, abruptio placenta, placenta previa, miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) s/s of meningitis - correct answers.- children 2: Fever, headache, stiff neck - newborns: poor feeding, inactive, irritability, bulging fontanel pathophysiology of a febrile seizure - correct answers.Most common in ages 6mo-6y/o, usually generalized tonic-clonic seizures that last less than 15 min and has short/no post-dictal state. Can be a sign of a more serious problem like Meningitis. stages of delivery - correct answers.■ Cervix Dilation phase ■ Expulsion phase ■ Placental phase s/s of abruptio placenta - correct ture separation of the placenta from the uterine wall -signs: firmness in uterus, uterine contractions, uterine tenderness, abdomen/back pain pre-birth bleeding with acute pain s/s of placenta previa - correct abnormal implantation of the placenta in the lower portion of the uterus signs: painless bleeding, uterus is larger, premature contractions calculate % of BSA burns for a pediatric patient - correct answers.Minor: Partial thickness burns involving less than 10% body surface Moderate: Partial thickness burns involving 10% to 20% of the body surface Severe: Any full-thickness burn, Any partial thickness burn involving more than 20% of the body surface, Any burn involving the hands, feet, airway, or genitalia recognize a respiratory emergency - correct answers.Sounds: wheeze, cough, crackling, abnormal rate or depth of breathing uneven or little chest movement wheezing, gurgling, deep snoring sounds lips, nail bed, skin will appear blue grey treat a respiratory emergency - correct answers.-Supine if unconscious; comfortably (usually upright) if conscious C A B-Assess and provide basic life support, as needed MONITOR VITALS:-Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate-Manage patient's anxiety-Provide definitive management of respiratory distress-Activate EMS as needed assist in an abnormal delivery - correct h delivery: butt first- use fingers to create small space for newborn to breathe Limb presentation delivery: only one arm/leg appears first- non-deliverable. transport immediately Nuchal cord delivery: umbilical cord wraps around neck in delivery- one hand push against infant, use other to unwrap cord Differentiate between preeclampsia and eclampsia - correct answers.The difference between eclampsia and pre-eclampsia is a seizure. Headaches, nausea and hypertension are signs and symptoms of preeclampsia. Once a patient has a seizure they are considered eclamptic. Evaluate cardiac arrest situations for pediatrics - correct answers.Pediatric cardiac arrest is characterized by unresponsiveness and lack of normal breathing (with only an occasional gasp), and is most often the end result of apnea (to stop breathing) or respiratory failure leading to bradycardia (slower heartbeat) and then pulseless electrical activity or asystole.
