AWHONN Neonatal Modules A deformation is a(n) - correct answer abnormality caused by unusual mechanical forces on normal tissue. A low birth weight infant's temperature increases during skin-to-skin care. This is an example of heat transfer by - correct answer conduction. At the onset of labor the release of catecholamines stimulates - correct answer increased absorption of lung fluid. An edematous, bruised lesion on the right anterior scalp where the vacuum was applied. This lesion has clearly demarcated edges, is firm to touch, and does not cross the suture line. This is best described as a - correct answer cephalohematoma. An infant born at 40 5/7 weeks gestation and weighed 5 lbs 2oz (2,360 grams). In completing a gestational age assessment on this infant, you would identify her as - correct answer term, small for gestational age. During fetal life, the ductus arteriosus - correct answer diverts blood flow from the pulmonary artery to the descending aorta. Expected findings in a neonate born to a mother who received magnesium sulfate in labor include - correct answer hypotonia. Eye prophylaxis with a single-use dose of sterile ophthalmic ointment containing 1% tetracycline or 0.5% erythromycin is usually administered within the first few hours of birth to prevent an eye infection caused by - correct answer gonorrhea. Following a birth complicated by shoulder dystocia, the neonate should be assessed for - correct answer Erb's palsy. Preeclampsia may result in all of the following fetal conditions - correct answer growth restriction, hypoxia/neurological injury, prematurity. Hyperthermia is defined as an axillary temperature greater than 99.5ºF (37.5ºC). The MOST common cause of hyperthermia in the newborn is - correct answer environmental. In the immediate newborn transition period, the ability to maintain functional residual lung capacity is most dependent upon - correct answer an adequate amount of alveolar surfactant. Neonates at risk of hypoglycemia should have their glucose levels evaluated within 2 hours of life because - correct answer blood glucose levels reach their lowest point within one to two hours after delivery. Polycythemia in the immediate newborn period is often associated with - correct answer infant of a diabetic mother. Symptoms of mild perinatal asphyxia include - correct answer hyperalert state and jitteriness. The condition in which the newborn's immature hypothalamus does not regulate peripheral blood vessels, resulting in a vasoconstriction on one side of the body with a vasodilation on the opposite side of the body is called - correct answer harlequin phenomena. The following conditions may all lead to metabolic acidosis - correct answer loss of HCO3/excess acid load d/t prematurity, renal tubular necrosis, severe diarrhea, hypoxia, hypoperfusion, inborn errors of metabolism, caloric deprivation, intolerance of cow's milk protein. The full newborn cardiovascular assessment includes auscultation, inspection, and palpation. The point of maximum impulse is usually palpable and can be auscultated in the - correct answer third to fourth intercostal space and left of the midclavicular line.
