Q

To initiate airway & breathing,

A

we may gently suction the mouth, and the nose of the baby gently & quickly
use a bulb syringe or suction catheter. We must start by suctioning the mouth first, then the nose to prevent
aspiration. Stimulate crying by rubbing the back, then position properly- side-lying and provide oxygen when
necessary

Q

Turn baby’s head to side: to facilitate drainage & aspiration precautions, A NB should be positioned to
the R side to increase pressure to the L side of the heart. This position favors the closure of Ductus
Arteriosus and Foramen Ovale and gastric emptying, thereby preventing the reflux of gastric contents
and suctioning of mouth 1st, then nose (obligating nasal breather).

Rationale:

A

stimulation of the nasal
mucosa will cause reflex inhalation of pharyngeal material into the trachea and bronchi, causing
aspiration

electrolytes stress, such as dehydration or a concentrated solute load. A 200-300 ml total volume of urine
for 24 hours by the end of the first week and an average of 20 voidings per day total of 15ml. Colorless,
odorless urine with a specific gravity of 1.02. NBS involves several types of testing. Phenestix test is a
diagnostic that uses a fresh urine sample (diapers) and mixed with ferric chloride. If (+), there will be a
presence of green spots at the diapers. Guthrie test is another test for PKU and is the one that mostly
used. The specimen used is the blood, and it tests if CHON is converted to an amino acid.

A

Blink reflex-

214
Q

– when a solid object is placed on the palm, a baby will grasp the object – disappear
6wks – 3 mos.

A

Palmar grasp reflex

215
Q

occurs as the palmar reflex when a finger is placed in the neonate’s palm, and the neonate
grasps the finger. The palmar reflex disappears around the sixth month. Similarly, the plantar reflex occurs
by placing a finger against the base of the neonate’s toes, and the toes curl downward to grasp the finger. This
reflex becomes inhibited around the ninth to the tenth month

Tonic-neck-reflex

220
Q

is activated as a result of
turning the head to one side. As the head is turned, the arm and leg on the same side will extend while
the opposite limbs bend, in a pose that mimics a fencer. The reflex should be inhibited by six months of
age in the waking state. If this reflex is still present at eight to nine months of age, the baby will not be
able to support its weight by straightening its arms and bringing its knees beneath its body.

A

Asymmetrical tonic neck reflex (sometimes called the labyrinthine tonic reflex)

221
Q

occurs with either the extension or flexion of the infant’s head. Extension
of the head results in extension of the arms and flexion of the legs, and flexion of the head causes flexion
of the arms and an extension of the legs. This reflex becomes inhibited by the sixth month to enable
crawling.

    implication of underlying neurological damage

will attempt to crawl forward using the arms and legs. This reflex will be inhibited by three to four months of
age

A

Prone crawl reflex
