Q

prenatal issues - HIV

A
  • transmitted to fetus through placenta or during birthing process (breast milk after birth)

25
Teen pregnancy
- high risk pregnancy - increased risk for LBW infant - teen pregnancy dropped 7%; less sexually active & better use of birth control
26
APGAR score measured between
1 and 5 minutes
27
APGAR score measures:
HR, respiration, muscle tone, reflex irritability, color - score each item as 0, 1, 2 - max score = 10
28
Normative scores at 1 min
``` 0-2 = 6% of babies 3-7 = 24% of babies 8-10 = 70% babies ```
29
Low scores (0-3) after 5 min risk for
infant death, risk for CNS complication
30
Prematurity =
< 37 weeks gestation; normala gestation 38-40 weeks
31
In US avg. birth weight =
7.5pounds (5.8-8.13)
32
LBW =
< 1 lb at birth
33
Small for gestational age (SGA)
Weight < 10th% for GA
34
Large for gestational age (LGA)
Weight > 90th% for GA
35
Newborn eats __X/day
8-14
36
Newborn cries ___X/day
16hours/day | -crying is method of communicating needs, estabilghing caregiving relationships with parents
37
Infants - Erikson's stage of development: Basic trust
- positive caregiving (touch, feeding, change diapers, etc) - TRUST - inconsistent caregiving (babies cry not always answered, baby left hundry or lack of cuddling/soothing touch) --> mistrust
38
Functional task of infant: form __
relationships
39

1-3 words
46
Receptive communication - listens to conversations
- turn taking - attnetion span - understands names and familar objects
47
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
- modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors - non-modifiable: gender, # of previous pregnancies, racial/ethnic background - modifiable: positioning, maternal smoking, breastfeeding
48
Back to sleep campagin
- babies should be placed in supine for sleeping | - parent should incorporate "tummy time" into day
49
Toddler 2-3 Erikson's stage of development
Autonomy versus Shame/Doubt Autonomy - learn to be independent, begin to control other people -Terrible "two's" -shame/doubt - fail at independence - begin to experience self-doubt
50
Learning - Piaget's Sensorimtor stage
Object performance - looking for things in direction they saw it go; will actively search for things - trial and error - bang pots and pans > make noise - functional use of objects - utensils
51
Onlooker play
watch others, but not participate
52
Symbolic play - complex, cooperative
assume roles (dress up)
53
parallel play
like to play side by side with another child, but not together
54
Movement in toddlers
running, climbing, etc | -refine a variety of motor tasks
55
communication (expressive) toddlers
- uses word combination - simple sentences (2 years) - 300-350 (2 years) nouns, verbs, pronouns - 900+ words by 3 years
56

57

emotional abuse
difficult to discern | -Impairs self-esteem
