through 4 after birth, when the production of milk begins to increase or the milk "comes
in"
engorgement S/S - ANSWER-generalized edema, pain, firm & tender breasts,
nipple/latch issues
,engorgement treatment/prophylaxis - ANSWER-nurse frequently, apply heat and cold,
massage the breasts, express milk to soften the areola, use cabbage leaves as an ice

erythema toxicum - ANSWER-white or yellow papules or vesicles with a red base that
are often called a "flea bite" rash or a newborn rash occurring within 5 days of birth
fetal lung fluid - ANSWER-product of alveoli that expands alveoli and aids in lung
development during fetal life
foremilk - ANSWER-watery first milk that quenches infant's thirst
hyperbilirubinemia - ANSWER-excessive bilirubin in the blood leading to jaundice
hyperbilirubinemia risk factors - ANSWER-*blood type incompatibilities*, lack of
intestinal flora, delayed feeding, trauma resulting in bruising or cephalohematoma, fatty
acids from cold stress (asphyxia), certain ethnicities, sibling with jaundice, fetal liver
immaturity, exclusive breastfeeding, late preterm
medical intervention for hyperbilirubinemia - ANSWER-UV light which helps the bilirubin
to become water soluble and is therefore excreted more easily
parent education for infants with hyperbilirubinemia - ANSWER-keep skin exposed to
passive lights, keep eyes covered, no clothing except diapers, provide frequent feedings
jaundice - ANSWER-yellow discoloration of the skin and sclera from excessive bilirubin
in the blood (all newborns are screened with each assessment, then reassessed at 24
and 48 hours)
physiologic jaundice - ANSWER-occurs after the first 24 hours of life as a result of
hemolysis of red blood cells and immaturity of the liver
pathologic jaundice - ANSWER-begins in the first 24 hours and may require treatment
with phototherapy
kernicterus - ANSWER-chronic form of bilirubin encephalopathy which is neurologic
condition resulting from bilirubin toxicity
lactogenesis - ANSWER-production of milk
lanugo - ANSWER-fine, soft hair that covers the fetus during intrauterine life
mastitis - ANSWER-inflammation and sometimes infection of the breast tissue,
specifically effecting a duct of the breast
,mastitis S/S - ANSWER-localized edema or pain in either breast, fever, generalized
aching, malaise, hard area to breast, nipple/latch issues, wedge shape of affected duct
mastitis risk factors - ANSWER-abrupt changes in feeding, nursing in the exact same
position
mastitis treatment - ANSWER-antibiotics, massage, heat, and frequent feedings
mastitis prevention - ANSWER-must pump breast/continue to empty the breasts
mature milk (fore and hind) - ANSWER-breast milk that comes in after transitional milk
(usually 10-15 days post birth); nutrients are provided in an easily digested form and it
contains factors that help establish normal intestinal flora and prevent infection
milia - ANSWER-baby acne; white cysts that are 1 mm in size caused by sebaceous
gland secretions and will disappear within the first weeks without treatment
milk ejection reflex (let-down reflex) - ANSWER-the release of milk from the alveoli into
the ducts in response to nipple stimulation
molding - ANSWER-changes in the shape of the head from overriding of cranial bones
at the sutures
neutral thermal environment - ANSWER-an environment in which the infant can
maintain a stable body temperature with minimal oxygen need and without an increase
in metabolic rate
nevus simplex (salmon patch or stork bite) - ANSWER-flat, pink discoloration from
dilated capillaries occurring on eyelids, above the bridge of the nose, or at the nape of
the neck; disappear by age 2
nonnutritive sucking - ANSWER-sucking during which little or no milk is obtained, also
can include sucking on an object such as a pacifier
nonshivering thermogenesis - ANSWER-metabolism of brown fat to produce heat
methods of heat production for infants - ANSWER-increase activity, flexion, metabolism,
vasoconstriction, nonshivering thermogenesis
infants are really good at maintaining a stable temperature (T/F) - ANSWER-FALSE
phimosis - ANSWER-tightening of the prepuce that prevents its retraction and requires
circumcision
plagiocephaly - ANSWER-flattening or asymmetry of the infant's head due to spending
long periods of time in a supine position
, plagiocephaly nursing intervention - ANSWER-educate parents on supervised periods
of lying prone each day (tummy time)
polycythemia - ANSWER-hemoglobin levels, red blood cell count, and total RBCs are all
elevated; hematocrit is 65% or greater causing a ruddy red appearance of infants
polycythemia complications - ANSWER-emboli, respiratory distress, hyperbilirubinemia
prolactin - ANSWER-hormone responsible for stimulating milk production
surfactant - ANSWER-a slippery detergent-like combination of lipoproteins that reduces
surface tension to keep the alveoli open
when does surfactant become detectable in utero - ANSWER-28 weeks gestations
tachypnea - ANSWER-respiratory rate of more than 60 breaths per minute
tachypnea is the most common sign of respiratory distress (T/F) - ANSWER-TRUE
thermoregulation - ANSWER-maintenance of body temperature
interventions for newborns to maintain thermoregulation - ANSWER-double wrap with a
blanket and keep hat on their head, keep infant dry and covered, avoid contact with cold
surfaces, keep away from drafts
methods of heat loss for the newborn - ANSWER-evaporation, conduction, convection,
and radiation
evaporation heat loss - ANSWER-occurs with air-drying of the skin that results in
cooling
prevention of evaporation heat loss - ANSWER-drying the infant immediately when wet
convection heat loss - ANSWER-transfer of heat from infant to cooler surrounding air
preventing convection heat loss - ANSWER-incubators, providing a warm draft-free
environment
conduction heat loss - ANSWER-movement of heat away from the body, occurring
when newborns come in direct contact with objects that are cooler than their skin
prevention of conduction heat loss - ANSWER-contact with warm objects, warming the
objects that will touch the infant, placing the unclothed infant against the mother's skin
