Module 2 Flashcards
It is the ability to fuse two images as one at 2 months.
Binocular Vision
also known as infant caries. Tooth decay that occurs while an
infant sleeps liquid from the propped bottle continuously soaks the upper front
teeth and lower back teeth.
Baby-bottle syndrome
It is paroxysmal abdominal pain that generally occurs in infants under 3 months of age and is marked by loud, intense crying.
Colic
Also known as diaper rash, when child’s diaper is not frequently
changed, feces is left in contact with skin, and irritation may result in the perianal area.
Diaper Dermatitis
prickly heat rash. Clusters of pinpoint, reddened papules with occasional vesicles and pustules surrounded by erythema.
Miliaria
It is the first baby tooth (typically a central incisor) usually erupts at age 6 months.
Milk Teeth
When infants are suddenly lowered toward an examining table from
ventral suspension, the arms extend as if to protect themselves from falling.
Parachute Reaction
It is condition present at 2 to 3 months of age. This occurs
because the life of a red cell is 4 months so the cells the child had at birth are disintegrating, but new cells are not yet being produced in adequate replacement
numbers.
Physiologic Anemia
the independent play; when infants play alone
Solitary Play
The position of an infant when held in midair on a horizontal plane,
supported by a hand under the abdomen. It is used to test gross motor ability.
Ventral Suspension
Most infants double their birth weight by what age?
6 months of age
infants triple their birth weight by what age?
1 year
An infant increase in height during the first year by how many percent?
50%
How is height and weight best assessed?
plotted on a standard growth chart
Infant growth is most
apparent in the ______ during the early months.
trunk
During the second half of the first year, infant growth becomes more apparent as
lengthening of the legs
necessary for the digestion of complex carbohydrates
amylase
necessary for the digestion of saturated fat
Lipase
extracellular fluid accounts for approximately ____ of an infant’s body weight, with intracellular fluid
accounting for approximately ___ by the end of the first year,
extracellular - 35%
intracellular - 40%
is increased during early infancy which accounts for the presence
of milia and cradle cap if the infant’s head is not well cleaned.
sebum production
What month regards an object in the midline of their vision (something
directly in front of themselves) as soon as it is brought in as close as
about 18 inches (46 cm) away. They follow it a short distance, but not
across the mid-line as yet.
1 month
what month focuses well (from about age 6 weeks) and follow objects with the eyes (although still not past the midline). Ability to follow and focus
this way is a major milestone in development, indicating an infant has achieved binocular vision, or the ability to fuse two images into one.
2 months
what month can follow an object across their midline. They typically hold their hands in front of their face and study their fingers for long periods of time (hand regard).
3 months
recognizes familiar objects, such as a frequently seen bottle,
rattle, or toy animal. They follow their parents’ movements with their eyes eagerly.
4 months
what month is capable of organized depth perception. This increases the
accuracy of their reach for objects as they begin to perceive distances
accurately.
6 months
what age pats their image in a mirror. Their depth perception has matured to the extent they can perform such tasks as transferring toys from hand to hand.
7 months
