Key Nursing Priorities Covered: Thermoregulation: Why cold stress is a metabolic emergency and how to utilize radiant warmers and incubators effectively. Respiratory Support: Monitoring for grunting, flaring, and retractions; understanding surfactant administration. Metabolic Balance: Managing hypoglycemia risks, especially in large-for-gestational-age (LGA) and preterm infants. Infection Prevention: Maintaining strict aseptic techniques due to the newborn's immature immune system. Family-Centered Care: Encouraging kangaroo care (skin-to-skin) and supporting anxious parents through education. We’ll dive deep into managing the most vulnerable patients, covering premature infants, infants of diabetic mothers (IDM), and neonates experiencing respiratory distress. f you found this video helpful, please give it a 👍 LIKE, SHARE it with your study group, and 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more high-yield nursing school content! #NursingCare #HighRiskNewborn #NICUnursing #NeonatalNursing #NursingSchool #NCLEXPrep #PediatricNursing #StudentNurse #NICU
