Pain assessment needs to be comprehensive and frequent. Show
Newborns feel pain and require the same level of pain assessment and pain management as adults. Pain assessment, which is comprehensive, involves observations of changes in vital signs, behavior, facial expression, and body movement. It is considered the "fifth vital sign" and should be checked as frequently as the other four signs. All newborns experience pain, not just newborns undergoing surgical procedures. Preterm newborns have an increased risk of pain because they are subjected to repeat procedures and exposed to noxious stimuli. Which finding would lead the nurse to suspect that a newborn is experiencing respiratory distress syndrome?Respiratory distress in the newborn is recognized as one or more signs of increased work of breathing, such as tachypnea, nasal flaring, chest retractions, or grunting.
What is the correct sequence of events in a neonatal resuscitation?The initial steps of resuscitation are to provide warmth by placing the baby under a radiant heat source, positioning the head in a “sniffing” position to open the airway, clearing the airway if necessary with a bulb syringe or suction catheter, drying the baby, and stimulating breathing.
When documenting the newborn's weight on a growth chart the nurse recognizes the newborn is large for gestational size based on which percentile on growth charts?Those who fall above the 90th percentile in weight are considered large for gestational age (LGA).
Which lab value should be monitored by the nurse when providing care for an LGA infant?LGA newborns are assessed for any complications. Blood sugar is measured to detect hypoglycemia, and doctors do a thorough examination to look for birth injuries and structural or genetic abnormalities.
