Feedback
A It is not common practice to give intravenous glucose to a newborn. Feeding the
infant is preferable because the formula or breast milk will last longer.
B Test blood glucose level according to agency policy, treat symptoms with
standing orders protocol, and notify the physician with the results.
C Documentation can wait until the infant has been tested and treated if a problem
is present.
D These symptoms are signs of hypoglycemia in the newborn. Permanent damage
can occur if glucose is not constantly available to the brain, but it is not common
practice to give intravenous glucose to a newborn. Feeding the infant is
preferable because the formula or breast milk will last longer.
