NEONATAL NURSE PRACTITIONER NCC EXAM 2025
GBS occurs during what age
- answers-1 week of life
Signs of neonatal dehyrdation
- answers-Suken eyes, cold feet, excessive sleepiness, fussiness, suken fontanelles
Biophysical Profile (BPP)
- answers-Assessment of five variables in the fetus that help to evaluate fetal risk:
breathing movement, body movement, tone, amniotic fluid volume, and fetal heart
rate reactivity.
Caput Succedaneum
- answers-Edema under scalp- pressure part of head against the cervix
How does caput succedaneum feel
- answers-soft, spongy, crosses suture lines
When does caput succedaneum resolve?
- answers-in a few days
Fetal fibronectin (fFN)
- answers-99% probability of birth within 2 weeks
Fetal circulation in blood vessels
- answers-is constricted with very little blood flow due to increase PVR
APGAR 4-6 indicates
- answers-focused resucitation efforts
APGAR <3
- answers-intensivie rescuitation efforts
Fetus responses to hypoxia by
- answers-redistruction of blood to vital organ, transient bradycardia, and anerobic
metabolsim
, essential fatty acids (EFAs) help to improve
- answers-visual acuity and congenitive ability
Oxygenation
- answers-partial pressure of oxygen within arterial blood reflects the exchange of
oxygen
Factors that impact oxygenation
- answers-percentage of oxygen delivered and mechanical mean airway
presse(paw)
Ventilation
- answers-removal of co2
What impacts infant co2 removal
- answers-pulmonary blood flow and generated infant breath
In conventional ventilation strategies for co2 removal is most affected by
- answers-tidal volume (amp of the bx by PIP -PEEP) and frequency
PEEP promotes and improves
- answers-FRC
Mean Airway Pressure (Paw)
- answers-avg pressure applied to the lung during the respiratory cycle
Paw is affected by
- answers-PIP, PEEP, iT, frequency, & gas flow
Time constant
- answers-resistance x compliance
Compliance
- answers-change in volume divided by change in pressure
Resistance
- answers-change in pressure divided change in flow
