Hypoglycemia in Newborn
Some of the manifestations of newborn hypoglycemia are:
Poor feeding, Jitteriness/tremors, hypothermia, diaphoresis, weak cry, lethargy, flaccid muscle
tone, seizures/coma, irregular respirations, cyanosis, and apnea.
Some of the measures that the nurse should take if hypoglycemia occurs are:
An asymptomatic at-risk newborn who has a blood glucose level 25 mg/dL in the first 4
hr, or less than 35 mg/dL from 4 hr to 24 hr of age, should be offered oral feedings to
increase levels to greater than 45 mg/dL.
Initiate IV dextrose for a symptomatic newborn.
Provide frequent oral and/or gavage feedings or continuous parenteral nutrition early
after birth to treat hypoglycemia.
Monitor the neonate’s blood glucose level closely per facility protocol.
Monitor IV if the neonate is unable to feed orally.
A 6-week gestation client enters the emergency department with complaints for unilateral

of methotrexate?
Instruct the client who is taking methotrexate to avoid alcohol consumption and vitamins
