Topic 1 DQ 1
Describe the effect of extremely low birth weight babies on the family and
community. Consider short-term and long-term impacts, socioeconomic
implications, the need for ongoing care, and comorbidities associated with
prematurity. Explain how disparities relative to ethnic and cultural groups may
contribute to low birth weight babies. Identify one support service within your
community to assist with preterm infants and their families and explain how the
service adequately addresses the needs of the community, or a population in your
community. Provide the link to the resource in your post.
