N3280 – Health Assessment Across the Lifespan – Screening Tests and
Assessments Questions and Answers
what is macrosomia determined by US
leopolds
measuring fundal height
doppler blood flow analysis use of velocity wave forms created by movement to measure
blood flow and resistance from the fetal umbilical and cerebral and maternal uterine arteries
ratios of doppler blood flow analysis -absent, reversed, or ratio above 3= restriction of
umbilical artery blood flow
-ratio normally decreases as pregnancy advances
increased peak systolic velocity= fetal anemia
abnormal maternal uterine artery waveform IUGR
assessment of fetal well-being in 3rd trimester -confirm gestational age
-confirm viability
-assess placental location
-determine fetal position
screening and diagnostic testing for 3rd trimester -ultrasound
-glucose tolerance test
-group B strep
-biophysical profile and non-stress test
, -daily fetal movement count
high risk newborn -birth trauma
-infection
-hemolytic disease
-infants of diabetic mothers
-congenital anomalies
-preterm/post-term
-maternal substance s
neonatal sepsis patterns -early onset or congenital
-nosocomial infection- late onset
TORCH acronym for a group of diseases that cause congenital conditions if fetus is exposed
to them
what does TORCH stand for toxoplasmosiss
other (syphillis, varicella, mumps, parovirus, HIV)
rubella
cytomegalovirus
herpes simplex
who recieves rhogam Rh- mom and Rh + neonate
blood incompatibilities rh incompatibility
ABO incompatibility
