Module 4 Flashcards
WCC for infants occur when
3-5 days, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months
what happens to the primitive reflexes during infancy
they disappear before purposeful motor skills emerge
what is the first priority of anticipatory guidance?
address concerns of parents
what is the Coombs test
tests for foreign antibodies adhered to infant RBCs (usually in the setting of hemolysis)
what questions about infant self-help should be asked at neonatal WCC
Periods of wakefulness, eye contact, calm when picked up, respond differently to soothing vs alerting touch
what history questions to ask at neonatal WCC
labor and delivery, childcare, blood type, Coombs test, ins/outs, general progression since birth
what verbal language history questions to ask at neonatal WCC
communicate discomfort through crying, facial expression, movement? Move to or calm to parent voice?
gross motor questions to ask at neonatal WCC
move in response to visual or auditory stimuli? Arm and leg movements symmetrical when startled/reflex?
Fine motor questions to ask at neonatal WCC
Keep hands in fist? Palmar grasp reflex?
What ROS questions to ask at neonatal WCC
head shape, eye discharge, umbilical stump, ENT, breathing, muscle strength, genitals/rectum
neonatal WCC PE general
congenital anomalies, alertness, distress, interaction w/ parent
neonatal WCC PE skin
lesions, jaundice
neonatal WCC PE Head
fontanelles, size, birth trauma
neonatal WCC PE eyes
pupils (opacification and red reflex), fixate and follow response for visual acuity, inspect eyes and eyelids
neonatal WCC PE ears
shape and position of pinnae, patency of auditory canals, presence of pits or tags
neonatal WCC PE nose
septal deviation, patency
neonatal WCC PE oral
Epstein pearls, natal teeth, cleft lip/palate
neonatal WCC PE heart
auscultate heart sounds, murmurs, palpate femoral pulses
neonatal WCC PE abdomen
umbilical cord and vessels
neonatal WCC PE genitalia/rectum
descended testes, external genitalia abnormalities, position and patency of anus
neonatal WCC PE MSK
deformities of spine/hand/foot, palpate clavicles, symmetry of limb posture and movement, muscle tone
neonatal WCC PE hip dysplasia
perform Ortolani and Barlow
neonatal WCC PE neurological
primitive reflexes
neonatal WCC universal screening
hearing, bilirubin, congenital heart disease, newborn screen completed
