Week 2 Discussion
For this assignment, you will review the latest evidence-based guidelines in the links provided below. Please make sure you are using scholarly references and they should not be older than 5 years. The posts/references must be in APA format.
Apply the information from the Aquifer case study to answer the following questions:
Why is developmental assessment essential in the provision of primary care for infants, children, and adolescents, and what are the essential components of this assessment on the basis of this child’s age?
Which tools will you use to assess specific components of development (such as speech, motor skills, social skills, etc.)? Which tools do you think are the most accurate in assessing the developmental components and why?
Which components would you consider in assessing the basic biological functioning and well-being of your pediatric patients? Why are these components important in providing primary health-care services to children?

Knowledge
Adverse Effects of Prenatal Substance Use
Tobacco
Maternal tobacco use during pregnancy increases the risk for low birth weight in the fetus.
There are no characteristic facial abnormalities associated with maternal tobacco use during pregnancy.
Alcohol
There is no safe amount of alcohol that can be consumed during pregnancy to ensure that fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) does not occur.
Fetal alcohol syndrome is a distinct pattern of facial abnormalities (microcephaly, smooth philtrum, thin upper lip), growth deficiency, and evidence of central nervous system dysfunction.
Victims of fetal alcohol syndrome may exhibit cognitive disability and learning problems (i.e., difficulties with memory, attention, and judgment) as well as neurobehavioral deficits such as poor motor skills
and impaired hand-eye coordination.
Marijuana
Distinctive effects of marijuana have not been identified.
Heroin and other opiate medications
Maternal heroin use is associated with increased risk of fetal growth restriction, placental abruption, fetal death, preterm labor and intrauterine passage of meconium.
All infants born to women who use opioids during pregnancy should be monitored for symptoms of neonatal abstinence syndrome (i.e. uncoordinated sucking reflexes leading to poor feeding, irritability, and
high-pitched cry) and treated if indicated.
Cocaine and Other Stimulants
These cause vasoconstriction leading to placental insufficiency and low birth weight, premature delivery, smaller head circumferences and shorter lengths.
In addition, the National Institute on Drug Abuse notes that exposure to cocaine during fetal development may lead to subtle, yet significant, later deficits in some children, including deficits in some aspects
of cognitive performance, information processing, and attention to tasks abilities that are important for success in school.
Small for Gestational Age
Newborns who are noted to be smaller than expected for their gestational age are considered small for gestational age (SGA).
Although they are not synonymous, this term is often used interchangeably with:
Fetal growth restriction (FGR)
Intrauterine growth retardation and/or
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
SGA: An infant is diagnosed as being SGA at time of birth. There are varying definitions for SGA, ranging from less than the third percentile to less than the 10th percentile for weight. Depending on the cutoff level
used, up to 70\% of SGA infants are small simply due to constitutional factors determined by maternal ethnicity, parity, weight or height.
IUGR: A fetus is noted to be IUGR during the pregnancy. A growth-restricted fetus is one that has not reached its growth potential at a given gestational age due to one or more causative factors.
Etiologies of SGA at Birth
Maternal factors
Both young and advanced maternal age
Maternal prepregnancy short stature and thinness
Poor maternal weight gain during the latter third of pregnancy
Nulliparity
Lack of medial care during pregnancy
Cigarette smoking, cocaine use, other substance use
Lower socioeconomic status (a proxy for limited access to good nutrition, healthcase, and structural biases)
Polyhydramnios
Short interpregnancy interval
Preeclampsia and/or chronic hypertension
Chronic maternal illness, such as:
1. Chronic kidney disease
2. Pregestational diabetes mellitus
3. Systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome
4. Cyanotic heart disease
5. Chronic pulmonary disease
6. Severe chronic anemia
7. Sickle cell disease
Fetal factors
Chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., trisomies) and syndromes
Metabolic disorders
Congenital infections (e.g., TORCH infections: toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex 2, and others including HIV, hepatitis B, human parvovirus,
syphilis and zika.

Medications and other
exposures
Amphetamines
Antimetabolites (e.g., aminopterin, busulfan, methotrexate)
Bromides
Cocaine
Ethanol
Heroin and other narcotics (e.g., morphine, methadone)
Hydantoin
Isotretinoin
Metal (e.g., mercury, lead)
Phencyclidine
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
Propranolol
Steroids
Tobacco (carbon monoxide, nicotine, thiocyanate)
Toluene
Trimethadione
Warfarin
Uterine and placental
abnormalities
Avascular villi
Decidual or spiral artery arteritis
Multiple gestation (limited endometrial surface area, vascular anastomoses)
Multiple infarctions
Partial molar pregnancy
Placenta previa and abruption
Single umbilical artery
Umbilical thrombosis
Abnormal umbilical vascular insertions
Syncytial knots
Tumors, including chorioangioma and hemangiomas
Uterine malformations
Diagnosis of Congenital Rubella
Detection of rubella-specific IgM antibodies usually indicates recent postnatal infection or congenital infection.
Because false-positives can occur, diagnosis can also be confirmed by stable or increasing serum concentrations of rubella IgG over several months.
Diagnosis is difficult after one year of age.
Diagnosis of Congenital Toxoplasmosis
The serologic diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis is based on positive toxoplasma-specific IgM, IgG, or IgA assay in the newborn period, increasing IgG titers in the first year, or persistently positive IgG
titers beyond the first year of life.
Diagnosis of Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
Because newborn infants with congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) shed large amounts of virus in the saliva and urine, urine or saliva culture is sufficient for diagnosis.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) may also be used for diagnosis.
Detection of CMV in urine, oral fluids, respiratory tract secretions, blood, or cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) obtained within 2 to 3 weeks of life is considered proof of congenital CMV infection.
Newborn Resuscitation
In addition to remembering the ABCs (or airway-breathing-circulation), keep in mind some of the special features of newborn resuscitation:
Use universal precautions
Warm and dry the infant and remove any wet linens immediately. Infants have a large surface area relative to their body weight and can thus experience significant hypothermia from evaporation.
Stimulate the infant to elicit a vigorous cry. This helps clear the lungs and mobilize secretions.
Position airway
Suction amniotic fluid from the infants mouth and nose. This helps clear the upper airway.
Initiate further resuscitation if required. This may include using blow-by oxygen, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), placement of an alternate airway, chest compressions, and medications.
While approximately 10\% of newborns require some assistance to initiate breathing, fewer than 1\% require extensive resuscitation.
Growth Terms Reviewed
Small for gestational age (SGA) = Weight below the 10th percentile for gestational age
Preterm = < 37 weeks gestation
Early term = Born at 37 0/7-38 6/7 weeks gestation
Term = Born at > 37 weeks gestation
Late term = 41 0/7-41 6/7 weeks’ gestation
Post Term = > 42 0/7 weeks’ gestation
See this Committee Opinion from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists from 2017 for a suggested revision of the term nomenclature.
Symmetric vs Asymmetric Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR)
Symmetric IUGR refers to a growth pattern in which head, length, and weight are decreased proportionately. Congenital infections or other fetal factors may adversely affect brain growth and often result in
symmetrical IUGR.
Asymmetric IUGR refers to a greater decrease in length and/or weight without affecting head circumference (head-sparing phenomenon). Maternal factors that cause poor delivery of nutrition to the fetus
(for example, maternal smoking) often results in asymmetric IUGR.

*Infants with sluggish blood flow (hyperviscosity syndrome) because of a critically elevated hemoglobin/hematocrit may have respiratory distress secondary to
inadequate oxygenation of end-organ tissues.
The Value of Social Workers
Social workers are a rich resource to many families. This is particularly true for new adolescent parents who may be of low socioeconomic status. Hospital social workers can help connect new parents to
community resources, including home nursing visits, support groups for new parents, and the Women, Infants and Children program. Link to https://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/women-infants-and-children-wic for more
information on this nationwide program.
Other current community resources in your area also may be available, such as:
Early childhood development classes
Parenting classes
Counseling for tobacco cessation and alcohol abuse
High school education completion
Crisis nurseries (short-term emergency daycare)
Clinical Skills
Apgar scores
The Apgar score is an assessment of the condition of the newborn immediately after birth.
Components of Apgar score include:
Appearance (skin color)
Pulse (heart rate)
Grimace (reflex irritability)
Activity (muscle tone)
Respiration
A newborn receives a score of 0, 1, or 2 for each component, with the final Apgar score ranging from 0 to 10.
Expanded Apgar score reporting form
The score is reported at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth for all infants.
The change in Apgar score between 1 and 5 minutes may be a useful indicator of response to resuscitation. According to Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) guidelines, a score below 7 at 5 minutes should
prompt continued resuscitation, with reassessment every 5 minutes, up to 20 minutes, until a score of 7 is achieved.
The Apgar score does not identify birth asphyxia and does not predict individual neurologic outcome or mortality.
Newborn Respiratory Distress
© 2021 Aquifer, Inc. - Elizabeth Hernandez ([email protected]) - 2021-08-19 21:11 EDT 3/6
https://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/women-infants-and-children-wic
Signs of respiratory distress in the newborn include:
Apnea
Poor respiratory effort
Tachypnea (rapid respiratory rate): a normal newborns respiratory rate will be in the 30s to 50s.
Nasal flaring
Chest wall retractions: Retractions are observed when the skin over the chest wall is sucking in; this is usually noted as intercostal (between the ribs), suprasternal (above the sternum) or subcostal (below
the ribcage) retractions.
Grunting; Grunting is a noise that is heard on expiration when an infant in respiratory distress is working to keep his or her alveoli open to increase oxygenation and/or ventilation. This is sometimes referred
to as “auto-PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure).”
Ballard Gestational Age Assessment Tool
The Ballard assessment tool uses signs of physical and neuromuscular maturity to estimate gestational age.
This can be particularly helpful if there is no early prenatal ultrasound to help confirm dates, or if the gestational age is in question because of uncertain maternal dates.
View an interactive version of the Ballard assessment tool.
Demonstration of Primitive Reflexes and Red Reflex
Rooting
Newborn turns his head toward your finger when you touch his cheek.
Sucking
Newborn sucks on your finger when you touch the roof of his mouth.
Startle (Moro)
The reflex is elicited by pulling up on the infants arms while in a supine position and quickly letting go of the arms causing the sensation of falling. Production of the reflex is by the suddenness of the stimuli
and not the distance of the drop. There is no need to lift the infants head off of the bed to elicit this reflex. In response, the newborn will flex his thighs and knees, fan and then clench his fingers, with arms
first thrown outward and then brought together as though embracing something.
A video of the moro reflex can be seen here: Moro Reflex
Palmar and Plantar Grasps
Newborn grasps your finger when you stroke it against the palm of his hand or plantar surface of his foot.
Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Response
Turning the newborns head to one side causes gradual extension of arm toward direction of infants gaze with contralateral arm flexion--like a fencer.
Stepping Response
Newborns legs make a stepping motion when you hold him vertically above the table and stroke the dorsum of his foot against the table edge.
Red Reflex Examination in Neonates
The best method for evaluating the red reflex is to turn off the room lights and stand at least a foot away from the childs face with the illuminated ophthalmoscope; this allows the examiner to look for both red
reflexes simultaneously.
Infants with more darkly pigmented skin will have a light golden colored or silver-tinged red reflex.
An absent red reflex (no reflection noted) may be caused by:
A cataract
An opacified cornea (such as in mucopolysaccharidosis)
Inflammation of the anterior chamber
Developmental anomalies of the eye
Retinoblastoma, a potentially lethal malignancy (careful examination of the eye of an infant with retinoblastoma often identifies a white, irregular mass within the globe).
Treating Neonates to Prevent Gonococcal Eye Infection
Although N. gonorrhoeae causes ophthalmia neonatorum relatively infrequently in the United States, identifying and treating this infection is especially important because ophthalmia neonatorum can result
in perforation of the globe of the eye and blindness.
Chlamydia trachomatis conjunctivitis in newborns is more common than gonococcal, but chlamydia typically occurs at 7-14 days after birth, and neonatal prophylaxis does little to prevent chlamydia
conjunctivitis.
Management
Prenatal lab screening
Look for the following prenatal screening lab tests in the maternal record:
Maternal blood type, Rh and antibody screen
Rubella IgG
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBSAg)
HIV antibody
RPR or VDRL
Urinalysis
Urine nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) for chlamydia and gonococcus
Urine or vaginal culture for group B streptococcus
Hepatitis C antibody (in women with a history of IV drug use)
Tuberculosis skin test (e.g. Mantoux) or TB blood test (e.g. Quantiferon) (in women with HIV or who live in a household with someone with active TB)

Early Onset Group B Streptococcal (GBS) Disease
Neonatal GBS Facts
GBS infection is a major cause of neonatal bacterial sepsis.
The incidence of early onset GBS disease is 0.23/1000 live births.
20-30\% of pregnant women have vaginal or rectal colonization of GBS.
Without antibacterial prophylaxis 1-2\% of infants born to colonized women develop invasive disease (sepsis, pneumonia and meningitis).
Risk factors for early onset GBS disease include rupture of membranes > 18 hours, prematurity, intrapartum fever and previous delivery of an infant who developed GBS disease.
Newborn Management
The management of babies born to mothers who are colonized with Group B streptococcus depends on a number of factors:
Clinical appearance
Evidence of maternal chorioamnionitis
Receipt of appropriate GBS prophylactic antibiotics by mother during labor
Duration of membrane rupture
Gestational age less than 37 weeks
Any infant who is ill appearing should undergo a full diagnostic evaluation (complete blood count [CBC], blood culture, chest x-ray and lumbar puncture) and receive IV antibiotics.
Well-appearing infants may undergo a limited laboratory evaluation (CBC and blood culture) or simply be closely monitored over the first few days of life.

Routine Newborn Medications
Vitamin K: Newborns routinely receive an intramuscular injection of vitamin K to prevent hemorrhagic disease of the newborn (also referred to as vitamin K deficiency bleeding, or, VKDB). The efficacy of oral
Vitamin K is unknown.
Hepatitis B vaccine: For all infants with birth weight of at least 2,000 g born to HBsAg-negative mothers, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends the practitioner administer Hepatitis B vaccine
as a universal routine prophylactic treatment within 24 hours of birth.
Erythromycin (also tetracycline or silver nitrate): One of these antibiotics is administered topically to prevent gonococcal conjunctivitis.
Treating Neonates to Prevent Hemorrhagic Disease of the Newborn
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommend intramuscular administration of Vitamin K at birth. There are no standardized
oral solution preparations of Vitamin K in the United States and therefore efficacy is unknown.
Early and classical Vitamin K deficient bleeding (VKDB) occur in 1/60-1/250 newborns, although the risk is much higher for early VKDB among those infants whose mothers used certain medications during
the pregnancy.
Late VKDB is rarer, occurring in 1/14,000- 1/25,000 infants.
Infants who do not receive a vitamin K shot at birth are 81 times more likely to develop late VKDB than infants who do receive a vitamin K shot at birth.
Type of
VKDB When it occurs Characteristics
Early 0-24 hours after birth
Severe
Mainly found in infants whose mothers used medications (e.g antiepileptic drugs or isoniazid) that interfere with
how the body uses vitamin K
Classical 1-7 days after birth
Bruising
Bleeding from the umbilical cord
Late 2-12 weeks after birth is typical, but can occur up to 6 months of age inpreviously healthy infants
30-60\% of infants have bleeding within the brain
Tends to occur in breastfed only babies who have not received the vitamin K shot
Warning bleeds are rare
http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/vitamink/facts.html
Treating Neonates to Prevent Vertical Transmission of Hepatitis B
Infants weighing more than 2000 grams born to mothers positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg):
Should receive the hepatitis B vaccine as well as hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) within 12 hours of delivery, regardless of antenatal anitviral treatment.
Additionally, these infants should receive the routine series of the vaccine beginning at age 1 month.
Vertical transmission can be prevented in 85-95\% of cases using these interventions.
At 9-18 months of age, the child should be tested for anti-HBs (antibody to Hepatitis B surface antigen) and HBsAg, and, if found to have inadequate antibody protection, should be re-immunized.
Infants born to mothers not tested for HBsAg:
Should receive hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours of delivery.
For infants with a birth weight of at least 2,000 g, administer HBIG by 7 days of age or by hospital discharge (whichever occurs first) if maternal HBsAg status is confirmed positive or remains unknown.
For infants with a birth weight of less than 2,000 g, administer HBIG by 12 hours of birth unless maternal HBsAg status is confirmed negative by that time.
Special considerations and guidelines for premature infants and/or infants less than 2,000 grams are provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). For all infants with a birth weight of less than 2,000 g
born to HBsAg-negative mothers, administer Hepatitis B vaccine as a universal routine prophylactic treatment at 1 month of age or at hospital discharge (whichever is first).
Addressing Parents’ Questions about the Administration of Medications to their Baby
Many families have concerns about the routine medications recommended for their babies. These concerns may include the following misperceptions: that the recommended dose is too high to be given
safely, that the medication may contain preservatives which are toxic, that there may be unforeseen consequences later in life, and that it is unnatural to cause a painful experience.
Studies have shown parents may not be aware of serious and even life threatening risks of the diseases that these medications are intended to prevent. For example: Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding can result
in severe cerebral hemorrhage, Hepatitis B can lead to chronic hepatitis and liver failure, and Gonococcal eye infection can cause blindness.
The clinician should actively but respectfully elicit parents concerns and fears about medications. Verbal and written information should be provided to the family that targets those concerns and fears.
When parents feel fully informed and yet still refuse to allow recommended medications, refusal should be documented on a medication refusal form signed by the parent.
Routine Newborn Discharge Instructions for Parents
Discharge teaching should include the following:
Reasons to seek immediate medical care, including fever, signs of poor feeding, worsening jaundice
Expectations for normal feeding, stooling, urine output
Safety issues (including placing the newborn on his back to sleep, proper infant auto restraint, avoiding cigarette smoke exposure.)
Plan for physician outpatient followup in 48-72 hours
Social Services follow up plan
24 hour emergency contact information
Adjusting to having a new infant can be challenging. For more detailed guidance for parents of newborns, link to the following Bright Futures Parent Handout - often provided at the first outpatient visit after
newborn discharge.
