Newborn Jaundice
Neonatal jaundice results from increased levels of this substance in the blood.
Bilirubin
Blood glucose value that would diagnose a mother with GDM
Equal to or greater than 11.1
This mother-newborn intervention immediately after birth promotes warmth and helps prevent hypoglycemia
skin-to-skin contact
This term describes decreased muscle tone that may occur in a newborn with jaundice.
Hypotonia
Test is used at each antenatal visit to assess glucose
Urine dipstick test
This serious neurological manifestation can occur in severe neonatal hypoglycemia
Seizures/convulsions
This is the primary intervention discussed for a newborn whose unconjugated bilirubin reaches the treatment threshold.
Phototherapy
GDM can cause excessive fetal growth known by this term
Macrosomia
Blood glucose should be checked before this early newborn activity
First Feed
This physical assessment involves pressing on the newborn's skin and looking for yellow discoloration
Blanch Test
All pregnant patients should be screened for GDM during this period of pregnancy
24-28 weeks
IV fluid given to symptomatic newborns for hypoglycemia
IV dextrose
Term used to describe when indirect bilirubin build up in the blood faster than the liver can process and clear it
Unconjugated Hyperbilirubinemia
Screening tool for detecting GDM
one-step and two-step/sequential tests
Targets for blood glucose in neonates younger than 72 hours of age
Greater than 2.6mmol/L
