Brett and Brenna's twin girls are doing very well. They haven't had any health complications since jaundice in the beginning of their second week. Unfortunately, a friend of the family, Marleen, had a very high-risk pregnancy that resulted in her son, Ervin, being born at 32 weeks of age. He has several health complications and is currently in the NICU. Brett and Brenna want to help any way they can.

1. Marleen is a single mother who barely makes ends meet. She is concerned about caring for Ervin being preterm, and has asked Brett and Brenna if there are any nutrition-related services to help her and Ervin once they are out of the NICU. Which of the following might Brett and Brenna recommend?

a. Food Stamps
b. Early Head Start
c. WIC
d. Both WIC and Early Head Start
e. All of these are correct.

2. Shortly after birth, Ervin was taken to the NICU for care because he was preterm. He was screened for the standard newborn genetic screen so if nutrition intervention was required, it could be addressed immediately. The screening came back normal. Still, within days of birth, Ervin begins showing signs of possible sepsis and liver problems. What genetic condition may have been previously missed in the screening?

a. citrullinemia
b. galactosemia
c. anemia
d. phenylketonuria

3. Ervin's age will be tracked differently on growth charts than full term babies, based on his corrected age.

Ervin was born at 32 weeks. When he is 3 months old, what will his corrected age be?

a. 20 weeks
b. 5 months
c. 2 months
d. 8 weeks
e. 1 month

4. Since Ervin is a preterm infant, he is not strong enough to draw milk when he is put to Marleen's breast. After she expresses her milk by pumping, she is encouraged to place him on the breast for nonnutritive sucking.

True or False: In preterm infants, nonnutritive sucking has been found to decrease the length of stay in hospitals.

a. True
b. False

5. Marleen is pumping her breastmilk for Ervin. Given Ervin's prematurity and unique health and nutrition needs, the doctor recommends that a human milk fortifier be added to his feedings until he meets certain benchmarks.

True or False: While there are special formulas available for premature infants, breastmilk is preferred if possible as the formulas are associated with a higher rate of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).

a. True
b. False

6. True or False: Unlike the twins, who were born at full term, Ervin was considered preterm at 32 weeks. Marleen is interested in starting complimentary food. To what age should she wait until introducing complementary foods?

a. 3 months
b. 6 months
c. 8 months
d. 9 months

You are caring for a 72-year-old male patient admitted to a medical unit with an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He is anemic, and you are transfusing him with 2 units of PRBCs. The second unit is almost completed when he complains of more shortness of breath and appears anxious. His pulse is 118 bpm, respirations 28 per minute, BP 104/60, and temperature 37.2° C (99° F). What might be the etiology of his respiratory distress? How will you distinguish between transfusion associated circulatory overload (TACO), hemolytic transfusion reaction, and further exacerbation of his underlying pulmonary disease? What are the appropriate interventions to initiate? How will you prioritize your care for this patient?

Let's talk about health, life and death. I found this video, the last one of David Bowie's before his death, very powerful. As most of us are going to be going into healthcare we are going to be confronted by death. Even if we are not going into medicine, death is the one thing we cannot escape.

For this DB lets have fun. Discuss, surmise and imagine ourselves in the shoes of those we watch on TV, in the movies or on the stage. You can talk about the artist's life, diagnosis, treatment or anything that strikes you as interesting. You can compare and contrast their lives with those you know, or even you. Please make sure your primary post is at least 350 words.

Reply to your peers (at least two) with well thought out and meaningful replies.  

Here are the Lyrics to Lazarus. Please take a look at the video and let me know what you think. I would love to hear your opinions. Have fun! Delena
