| what are some interventions for therepeutic management of fluid and electrolyte balance? | carefuly regulate iv fluids, dilate iv meds as little fluid as safe, assess iv site hourly, record changes freq |
| for the preterm infant for what sx do you freq assess condition, record any changes, avoid using adhesives, gauze wraps instead of tape, do not use alcohol, do not use powders or oils? | skin |
| what has a 3-10x greater than full-term to have 1+ episodes of sepsis during hospital stay? caused by maternal infection, lack of transfer immunoglobulin, immature immune response? | preterm infant- infection |
