GRADED A+| PASS GUARANTEED
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) - ANSWER A measure of how well the
kidneys are filtering blood, typically increased during pregnancy.
Anatomical Defects - ANSWER Physical malformations that can occur in a
developing fetus, often due to teratogenic exposure.
Narcotics - ANSWER Medications used to relieve pain, which can cross the
placenta and affect the newborn.
Withdrawal Syndrome - ANSWER A set of symptoms that occur when a
newborn is exposed to narcotics during pregnancy and experiences a sudden
cessation of the drug.
Respiratory Depression - ANSWER A condition where breathing becomes
inadequate, which can occur in newborns exposed to narcotics.
, Prenatal Vitamins - ANSWER Supplements taken during pregnancy to ensure
adequate nutrient intake for fetal development.
Albuterol Inhaler - ANSWER A medication used to relieve bronchospasm in
conditions like asthma, which may be used during pregnancy.
High-Pitched Cry - ANSWER A symptom often associated with drug
withdrawal in infants, indicating irritability.
Physiologic Integrity - ANSWER A nursing client needs category focusing on
the maintenance of bodily functions and health.
Physiologic Adaptation - ANSWER The body's ability to adjust to changes,
particularly during pregnancy and postpartum.
Alcohol Use in Pregnancy - ANSWER Consumption of alcohol during
pregnancy, which can lead to developmental issues in the fetus.
Intravenous Morphine - ANSWER A potent opioid pain reliever that can affect
both the mother and the newborn during labor.
Embryonic Period - ANSWER The stage of development from weeks 3 to 8 of
pregnancy, critical for organ formation.
Drug Metabolism - ANSWER The process by which the body breaks down
medications, which can change during pregnancy.
,Placental Transfer - ANSWER The process by which substances cross from the
mother's bloodstream to the fetus.
Increased Renal Blood Flow - ANSWER A physiological change during
pregnancy that can affect drug clearance.
Nursing Process: Assessment - ANSWER The first step in the nursing process,
involving the collection of patient data.
Nursing Process: Evaluation - ANSWER The step in the nursing process that
assesses the effectiveness of interventions.
Nursing Process: Implementation - ANSWER The phase in the nursing process
where nursing actions are carried out.
Medication Safety for Breastfeeding - ANSWER Taking the medication
immediately after breastfeeding minimizes the drug concentration in the breast
milk at the next feeding.
Pumping Breast Milk - ANSWER Pumping the breast milk will not diminish
the drugs or drug concentration in the breast milk.
Medication Timing Before Breastfeeding - ANSWER Taking the medication 1
hour before breastfeeding will increase concentrations of the drug in the breast
milk.
, Teratogenic Effects of Medications - ANSWER One of the greatest challenges
in identifying drug effects on a developing fetus has been the lack of clinical trials,
which, by their nature, would put the developing fetus at risk.
MEPREP Study - ANSWER The MEPREP study is a retrospective study to
learn about possible outcomes related to known maternal drug exposure.
Risk of Teratogen-Induced Malformations - ANSWER The highest risk of
teratogen-induced gross malformations exists during the first trimester.
Embryonic Period - ANSWER Gross malformations are caused by exposure to
teratogens during the embryonic period, which is considered the first trimester.
Infant Response to Narcotic Analgesic - ANSWER The blood-brain barrier is
not as well developed in infants, making them more susceptible to CNS effects of
medications.
Respiratory Rate in Infants Post-Medication - ANSWER Respirations of 22
breaths/minute and a heart rate of 110 beats/minute in an infant after narcotic
administration may indicate immaturity of the blood-brain barrier.
Narcotic Toxic Effects - ANSWER Toxic effects of the narcotic may require
naloxone as an antidote.
Unexpected Side Effects in Infants - ANSWER Unexpected side effects of
medications in infants can occur due to their physiological differences.
