Practice Question
A nursery nurse is attending the birth of a post-term infant.
Answer Choices:
Rationale:
🔴 Meconium aspiration syndrome
🔻 Post-term infants are at increased risk of hypoxia, which can lead to meconium passage in utero.
🔻 The presence of thick green amniotic fluid after amniotomy suggests meconium-stained fluid.
🔻 This raises concern for aspiration of meconium into the lungs, leading to respiratory distress.
🔻 Close respiratory monitoring and possible NICU evaluation are necessary.
🟠 Macrosomia
🟡 Post-term gestation increases the risk of fetal overgrowth due to prolonged exposure to maternal nutrients.
🟡 Macrosomia is a known complication of pregnancies exceeding 42 weeks.
🟡 This condition increases the risk for birth trauma, shoulder dystocia, and hypoglycemia after birth.
