RESPECTFUL PEDIATRIC CARE
Family-Centered Care at the End of Life Respectful Pediatric Care boxes in Davis Advantage for Pediatric Nursing promote equitable, respectful nursing care that respects individual needs, preferences and identities. Family communication with staff, including sibling care, must be an essential aspect of all daily care. Sibling care includes play- time for siblings to allow normal childhood activities, respect for what the ill sibling is experiencing, and acknowledgment of their feelings. Outcomes of using family-centered care include a more cohesive family unit and possibly promoting healing after the death of a child. Family-Centered Care at the End of Life When communicating with the family, nurse assessments should be conducted to: ● Determine how the family unit functions. ● Understand the level of information the family desires. ● Identify the cognitive level of family members to provide an appropriate education. ● Determine the family’s overall understanding of the patient’s diagnosis and potential outcomes. ● Establish who can legally receive information about the patient.

RESPECTFUL MATERNITY CARE
The principles of respectful maternity care play a key role in sup- porting each patient’s unique postpartum and parenting journey. By approaching care with cultural humility, inclusive language, and patient-centered care, nurses can foster a positive, respectful environment. This approach is integral to postpartum transition and parenting, ensuring that each patient feels valued and em- powered. Research has shown that inadequate care, inconsistent support, unmet informational needs, and stressful interactions with health care providers can cause mistrust in the health care system. Black women and other marginalized groups often face systemic barriers in postpartum care that can affect their birth satisfaction and overall health outcomes as well as their parent- ing. Nurses should be mindful to provide culturally sensitive care that promotes dignity, respect, and trust for every postpartum patient and family to reduce disparities and improve health out-

CHAPTER 8 ■ Caring for the Newborn at Risk
Cultural and Social Considerations for Health boxes consider cultural variations to evaluate health outcomes. Preterm infants are at risk for RDS because of the imma- ture development of the lungs and lack of surfactant. The smaller and more preterm the newborn is, the higher the risk for RDS; almost all infants who are born before 28 weeks’ ges- tational age develop RDS (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2019). Signs and Symptoms The clinical signs and symptoms of RDS begin shortly after birth and include: ■ Expiratory grunting ■ Use of accessory muscles such as retractions and nasal f laring ■ Cyanosis in room air ■ Rapid breathing (tachypnea) Optimizing Outcomes boxes enhance critical-thinking skills for clinical application and reinforce how to obtain the best possible outcomes for patients. The preterm newborn is not only smaller than a term newborn but also has specific abbreviated development char- acteristics (Box 8-6). Respiratory Distress Syndrome Fetal lung maturity develops in utero progressively until term. Fetal lung maturity is determined by the L/S ratio and PG values, which are essential phospholipids in promoting oxygenation of the lung alveoli. They act on the pulmonary surface to decrease surface tension and are needed to keep the alveoli open when the newborn exhales. L/S ratio and PG values are often mature at 35 to 36 weeks’ gestation; before this time, newborns are at risk for RDS. RDS is a developmental respiratory disorder affecting preterm newborns because of lack of lung surfactant and un- derdeveloped alveolar saccules. RDS causes diffuse atelectasis (parts of the lung are not expanded), with congestion and edema in the lung spaces. L/S ratio and PG levels are low and inadequate to keep the immature alveoli of the lungs open. Lung compliance is diminished and significantly adds to the infant’s work of breathing. The x-ray findings of RDS reveal a reticulogranular pattern that resembles “ground glass”; possi- ble atelectasis, which looks similar to “whiteout”; and obscure heart borders.
Cultural and Social Considerations for Health
Social Determinants of Health and Preterm Birth Despite a slight drop in 2022, the overall U.S. preterm birth rate remains high, especially for Black mothers (14.6%) compared with White (9.4%) and Hispanic (10.1%) mothers (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2023). Social determinants of health (SDOH) can significantly impact preterm birth through various interconnected pathways.The following table shows the impact of SDOH on risk for preterm birth.
Social Determinant of Health Stress and mental health
Impact on Risk for Preterm Birth
↑ Stress hormones, ↓ immune function, ↑ risk of chronic health conditions Nutritional deficiencies, ↓ fetal development, ↑ risk of chronic health conditions that predisposes risk of preterm delivery Delayed diagnosis, inadequate care, delayed or missed critical testing and evaluations, ↑ risk of complications
Nutrition
Health-care access and quality
Environmental factors Exposure to toxins, ↓ fetal development, ↑ health risks (teratogen effect) Lifestyle habits Direct harmful effects on
pregnancy, ↓ fetal development or abnormal fetal development (teratogen effect)
↑ Stress, lack of coping mechanisms, ↓ access to resources

Build Practice-Ready Nurses
Personalized Learning assignments immerse students in an online learning experience tailored to their needs. Students are assessed on their comprehension of key topics from the text, and then are guided through mini-lecture videos and dynamic activities to reinforce learning and bring concepts to life.
LEARN
Animated mini-lecture videos connect with all learning styles to make must-know concepts more relatable and easier to understand.
Interactive learning activities check students’ understanding and expand their knowledge.
Comprehensive rationales help students understand why their responses are correct or incorrect.
8
Clinical Judgment assignments develop students’ critical thinking and clinical reasoning, helping them to build the clinical judgment skills they need to practice safe and effective nursing care and to prepare for the NCLEX® with confidence. Progressive case studies featuring real-life, complex clinical situations challenge students to apply knowledge, make informed decisions, and evaluate outcomes.
APPLY
The Patient Chart displays tabs for History and Physical Assessment, Nurses’ Notes, Vital Signs, and Laboratory Results. As the case progresses, the chart expands and populates with additional data.
NCLEX®-format questions align with the cognitive areas of the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model , requiring careful analysis, synthesis of the data, and multi-step thinking.
Quizzing assignments provide the additional practice students need to improve their scores on classroom and certification exams. Questions cover the same topics and concepts as the textbook to assess students’ comprehension of course material.
ASSESS
Immediate Feedback with comprehensive rationales provides students with on-the-spot remediation that explains why their responses are correct or incorrect. Page-specific references direct them to relevant content in their text, while Test-Taking Tips improve exam skills.
High-quality, NCLEX®-style questions challenge students to think critically and test their knowledge. Bowtie and trend questions prepare students for the individual, stand-alone item types on the NCLEX®.
Screenshots shown reflect content from Davis Advantage for Medical-Surgical Nursing , but functionality is identical in every course area. Online content subject to change.

Sims assignments challenge students to make clinical decisions based on simulation videos showing realistic portrayals of nurse-patient interactions in a hospital setting, enabling them to earn clinical hours while practicing clinical judgment in a safe space.
SIMULATE
Immersive videos provide verbal and nonverbal cues about the patient and the situation, and emphasize the importance of therapeutic communication and proper skill technique. Students must recognize cues, analyze cues, and prioritize hypotheses. A dynamic EHR with time stamps evolves and populates with additional data based on the choices students make as they progress through the simulation.
Each question is a decision point . The questions require students to have a strong foundational understanding, assess the individual patient’s needs and specifics, and exercise careful clinical judgment. Each question is mapped to the cognitive skills in the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model.
