A postpartum client asks the nurse why her baby needs a newborn screen. What teaching should the nurse reinforce regarding why this test is necessary? - Newborn is tested for a group of health disorders that aren’t otherwise found at birth. With a simple blood test, doctors can check for rare genetic, hormone- related and metabolic conditions that can cause serious health problems. - Newborn screening helps us find babies who have certain serious medical conditions so that they can begin treatment right away. In most cases, these babies look normal and healthy at birth. They usually do not begin showing symptoms until a few weeks or months later. Newborn screening helps to diagnose these babies before they start showing symptoms. By starting treatment early, serious problems like illness, intellectual disabilities, or death can often be prevented. 13.

A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a pregnant client regarding fetal kick counts. What are two (2) teaching points the nurse should reinforce about completing kick counts? • Fetal movement/kick counts to ascertain fetal well-being • Diagnostic testing for fetal well- being (no stress test, biophysical profile, ultrasound, contraction stress test) • Observe for placental insufficiency Suggestion Maternal Newborn Learning Activity: Teaching Reinforcement for the Antenatal Client 15. A pregnant client is newly diagnoses with gestational diabetes. What are four (4) teaching points the nurse should reinforce to the client regarding hypoglycemia? • Blood glucose levels less than 45mg/dL should be followed up with serum glucose level • Check blood glucose before feeding • Feed early • Provide supplementation ( Oral, nasogastric gavage, intravenous) • An asymptomatic at risk newborn who has a blood glucose level 25mg/dL in the first 4hrs, or less than 35 mg/dL from 4 hours to 24 hrs of age should be offered oral feedings to increase levels to greater than 45 mg/dL • Initiate IV dextrose for a symptomatic newborn.
