QUIZ

TRIVIAL

Newborn Jaundice MEdications

start

Explanation

Phototherapy causes excessive insensible water loss that can lead to dehyration. Dehyrdation causes bilirubin levels to rise. Healthcare workers should increase oral feeding to combat this loss

Explanation

One of the main concerns for neonates is hypoglycemia. Given that newborns already lose weight after birth and that those with jaundice have poor appetite, IV glucose can help combat this outcome.

Explanation

This medication blocks maternal antibodies from attacking the newborns RBC's and thus reduces the newborn's need for additional interventions

Explanation

When serum bilirubin levels reach between 12 - 20 mg/dL, brain damage could result. Exchange blood transfusions are performed when phototherapy does not lower the serum bilirubin, or is used in conjunction with phototherapy when the newborn is experiencing a hemolytic disease as a result of blood incompatability with the maternal blood.

Solution

120 mL/kg/day * 3015 g * 1 kg/ 1000 g * 1 day/ 24 hr = 15.075 mL/hr = 15 mL/hr

Solution

(0.5 g)/kg * (1 kg)/(1000 g)* 2620 g = 1.31 g over 2 hours 1.31 g/ 2 hr = 0.66 g/hr
