43
How do you know the baby is getting enough breast milk?
⁍Measure output: same number of wet diapers as the babies age in days, for the first few day ⁍⁍Weight is not the most reliable method since infant lose 7-10% of body weight in the first few days
44
What do you recommend a mastitis breastfeeding
Extra rest, empty milk out of breast after each feeding, start breast feeding on unaffected side, thoroughly wash hands prior to breastfeeding, maintain cleanliness of breasts ⁍Infection precaution and monitoring
45
Breast Engorgement Client Education
⁍Warm shower, apply warm compress, empty breast after feeding (use pump if needed), cool compress after feeding
46
Nipple soreness Client education
Make sure the infant latches right (lathing techniques) and change position of feeding
47
Quality Breastfeeding
L: LATCH A: AUDIBLE SWALLOWING T: TYPE OF NIPPLE (EVERTED, FLAT, AD INVERTED) C: COMFORT DURING FEEDING (SHOULD NOT HURT) H: HELP (How much help does mom need to give the infant with feeding)
48

Oral or genital lesions
64
Common Congenital Anomalies and Nursing Concerns for Each
Neurologic: protect membranes, observe for leakage, prevent infection, monitor for increased ICP Hydrocephalus: repositioning, and monitoring for increased ICP Patent ductus arteriosus: educate on surgical treatment Tetralogy of Fallot: prevent infection and respiratory distress through positioning (knee-chest position) and reducing workload on the heart Cleft lip/palate: monitor for dehydration and maintain airway
65
Signs of TED, prevention, and complication
Signs: unilateral calf pain, redness, hardened area of vasculature Prevention: hydration, ambulation, SCDs, enoxaparin Complications: superficial venous thrombosis, DVT, acute PE Cannot use warfarin during pregnancy

Hydrocephalus
Repositioning, and monitoring for increased ICP
73
Patent ductus arteriosus
Educate on surgical treatment
74
