Michelle spotted a pretty major error in my neonate quiz. Question 1 asks for the expected cord blood glucose level at term. The answer listed is 15 mg/dL and should read "15 mg/dL below the blood glucose level of the mother."

While we're at it, question 20-something with a photo of a baby with an arched back should also have the answer option "kernicterus" which I somehow erased. Kernicterus in the intended Dx.

I posted a neonate quiz with info from ppt, the chris cooper slides, some articles, and book readings. A bunch of it is from the previous Quiz IIIa which I added to and then decided to split. I will add to the maternity section and post another quiz tomorrow-ish.
Also, Jolene's slides regarding breastfeeding jaundice conflict with the book's definition. I e-mailed her and she e-mailed back a response indicative of disrupted sleep patterns. If anyone else talks to her about this discrepancy, please post what you learn.
Thanks!

Error in cariopulmonary quiz

Michelle caught an error in the cardiopulmonary quiz. None of the answers are correct. On the powerpoint 5cc/kg/hr it is in reference to the amount of surfactant produced. Sorry about that!

#21What does 5cc/kg/hr mean?

1. If a fetus weighs 3kg, 15 mL of blood are passing a given point every hour

2. The partial pressure of fetal respirations could theoretically move 5 cc H2O against a kg of pressure in one hour

3. It is in reference to the fetus’s diaphragmatic muscle tone

4. If a fetus weighs 3 kg, her vascular system can hold 15 cc of blood.

nclex questions

I uploaded two scans from my nclex study guide to give ideas for how to write nclex style questions for our nutrition groups. Just trying to avoid studying for our tests this week at this point.
