90th percentile for that particular
gestational age. Which of the following
classifications does this newborn fit?
Observe for clinical signs of polycythemia respiratory distress, cyanosis, jitteriness, jaundice, ruddy skin color, and lethargy and
include which of the following? monitor blood results.
Screening for hypoglycemia in high-risk False
LGA infants is optional.
Dry, cracked, peeling, wrinkled skin
Vernix caseosa and lanugo are absent.
Long, thin extremities
Creases that cover the entire soles of the feet
Post-term newborns typically exhibit which Wide-eyed, alert expression
the following characteristics? Abundant hair on scalp
Thin umbilical cord
Long fingernails
Limited vernix and lanugo
• Meconium-stained skin and fingernails
Describes newborns whose birthweight is above the 90th percentile on a growth
Large for gestational age (LGA) chart and who weigh more than 4,000 g (8 lb 13 oz) at term due to accelerated
overgrowth for length of gestation
Describes newborns that typically weigh less than 2,500 g (5 lb 8 oz) at term due to
less growth than expected in utero. A newborn is also classified as SGA if his or her
Small for gestational age (SGA)
birthweight is at or below the 10th percentile as correlated with the number of weeks
of gestation
Describes a newborn with a weight that falls within the 10th to 90th percentile for
Appropriate for gestational age (AGA)
that particular gestational age. This describes approximately 80% of all newborns
Extremely low birthweight less than 1,000 g (2 lb 3 oz)
Very low birthweight less than 1,500 g (3 lb 5 oz)
, Low birthweight less than 2,500 g (5.5 lb)
Polycythemia is not uncommon and is a True
potentially serious disorder of newborns. It
is defined as a venous hematocrit above
65% and hemoglobin of more than 20
grams.
Post term newborns are at high risk for asphyxia

due to accelerated overgrowth for length
of gestation. Which of the following
classifications does this newborn fit?
Prematurity is now the leading cause of True
death worldwide within the first month of
life and the second leading cause of all
infant deaths.
Unstable chest wall
A few of the problems that affect the Immature respiratory control centers
preterm newborn's breathing ability and
adjustment to extrauterine life include? Smaller respiratory passages
Inability to clear fluid from passages
The preterm newborn's immune system is True
very immature, increasing his or her
susceptibility to infections. A deficiency of
IgG may occur because transplacental
transfer does not occur until after 34 weeks
gestation.
is now the leading cause of death Prematurity
worldwide within the first month of life and
the second leading cause of all infant
deaths.
Immature respiratory control centers leading to apnea
Smaller respiratory passages leading to an increased risk for obstruction
Unstable chest wall leading to atelectasis
Inability to clear fluid from passages leading to transient tachypnea
Surfactant deficiency leading to the development of respiratory distress syndrome
A preterm newborn is one who is born 37
before the completion of which weeks of
gestation?
