Question U2 is a 7-lb, 5-oz neonate born in the “dirty backseat” of a taxibecause her 16-year-old mother, Debbie Tillerman, didn’t realize she was in labor. The baby’s grandparents are angry with Debbie because, although grounded for breaking a house rule, she took the bus to visit her boyfriend out of town and was there when her labor started. Apgar scores were not recorded. The grandparents want the baby moved to the neonatal intensive care unit because, although the baby’s weight is that of a term newborn, they are concerned the baby is preterm. “Don’t trust anything Debbie tells you about her due date,” they tell you. “She lies all of the time.” -What standardized assessment would you want to do on U2 to assess if she is a preterm or not? Who would you ask to obtain a pregnancy history: Debbie or the grandparents? -Debbie is going to call her baby U2 rather than a typical name. Would you be concerned about this? Would you talk to her about changing it before the birth certificate is filed? -What special care will U2 need because she was born in the “dirty backseat” of a taxi cab? Are there any special instructions Debbie will need to know to care for her? Health Science Science Nursing CON NSG123 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
