Submit your output here:
1. The Atkinses are the family you met at the beginning of the chapter. Mrs. Atkins
does not want to visit or “waste her favorite name” on her new baby because the
baby might. How would you advise her?
2. Infants who are cared for in neonatal nurseries may need either reduced
stimulation because their stay in the nursery will be so extended. What are the
examples of developmental care you might use with Baby Atkins?
3. Retinopathy of prematurity is an example of a disease caused by the therapy given
an infant. What measures would you take to safeguard Baby Atkins against this
disorder?
4. Examine the National Health Goals related to high risk newborns. Most government-
sponsored funds for nursing research are allotted based on these goals. What would
be a possible research topic to explore pertinent to these goals that would be
applicable to the Atkins family and also advance evidence-based practice?
