    The document discusses identifying high-risk newborns in a neonatal intensive care unit. It provides several examples of newborn descriptions and asks the reader to identify whether the newborn's condition is considered high-risk or not. It correctly identifies that a baby born with meconium-stained amniotic fluid and a cheesy coating is high-risk due to potential meconium aspiration syndrome. It also identifies a baby born at 37 weeks as high-risk due to low birth weight. However, it states that a full-term baby with normal vital signs and weight is not high-risk.

    ___x____ Baby girl Sweetheart appeared jaundice a day after birth the jaundice disappears at
    her 7 th day.

    RATIONALE: The baby is still premature, there is no enough RCB so Jaundice in newborn is not normal
    especially for premature babies. And mostly they have condition of hyperbilirubemia wherein there is
    too much bilirubin in your baby’s blood.

    ___x____   A baby was born with an AOG 37 weeks. With birth weight of 2.20 kg. Appeared to be
    pinkish with regular breathing and CR of 140 bpm.

    RATIONALE: High risk because AOG is 37. The weight is 2.20kg so it is not normal. The normal weight
    is 2.5-2.3kg.

    ___/____ Baby Theresa who was 2 weeks old with soft and downy hair all around her trunk and
    neck and appeared to be jaundice.

    RATIONALE: A baby with soft and downy hair all is normal for newborn, this is called lanugo. And

    weeks.

    ___x____ Baby Anna was born together with a dark green sticky amniotic fluid and her body is
    coated with whitish cheezie substance.

    RATIONALE:Amniotic fluid is not normal because it is green, so the normal appearance is clear. This
    means that the baby inside ate his/her poop itself then it inhaled to its lungs. MAS (meconium
    aspiration syndrome) is present.

    ___/____ Baby Rose was born with AOG of 42 weeks, pinkish in color , loud cry and active
    movement with a birth weight of 3.5 kg.
