Baby Safety

First, I would tell Lisa and Dillon to watch for symptoms of blue color to the skin and shortness of breath. If she shows blue tinged skin and shortness of breath then you should put the baby’s knees up to her chest and lay the baby on her side. This helps increase blood flow to her lungs. Then you can call for paramedics. This is an emergency.

When providing a healthy and safe environment both inside and outside the nursery, there are factors myself and other practitioners need to consider; individual children and any specific needs they may have, for example at my work place we a baby with Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes restricted growth, poor core muscle strength, learning difficulties, behavioural problems such as temper tantrums or stubbornness and a permanent feeling of hunger which will start between the age of 2 and 8 years old. The practitioners who work with the baby must always consider

Here are some of the National, local guidelines and policies and procedures for safeguarding that affect day-to-day work with in our nursery. In the following ways:

All areas that are being used for healthcare activities should be cleaned with either disinfectant wipes each morning and in between patients/procedures. Equipment should be all new out of the packets and clean. For things more major such as vasectomy’s, minor surgery or family planning clinics, areas should be cleaned everywhere with a disinfectant fluid and also with wipes, gloves should always be worn as well as other PPE such as aprons and hats. All equipment should be new from the packet and only touched by the person who is using

This covers issues including the provision of appropriate first aid equipment, and the appropriate number of first aiders.

Washing hands before touching food is very important as you get rid of any bacteria or dirt which could be harmful towards the child. Every staff member should be CRB checked. This makes sure they have no criminal history. And that they are safe to work with children. An admissions policy is also important almost settings operate on a ‘first come first served basis’ which means who ever applies first get a place first.

The first source is a non-experimental design that took place in both an open ward and SFR NICU at Cabell Huntington Hospital. Two hundred and forty infants were monitored in this study. One hundred and thirty-three infants were observed in an open ward, and one hundred and seven were kept in single family rooms (SFRs). This study quantitatively measured the noise level, illumination, air quality, temperature, growth and development of the infant, the amount of respiratory support needed, and the baby’s nutritional progress in each environment. The findings of this study show that humidity particulates, noise, and exposure to bright light were decreased in the SFRs. In the SFRs there are also reduced ventilator needs, a reduction in days that infants were on total parenteral nutrition

The ideal safe sleep environment for an infant is in a crib, with a tight fitting sheet and a firm mattress. The infant should always be placed alone, on their back in the crib, every time they are put down for sleep, including naps. It is recommended that infants sleep in the same room as their parent but never in the same bed. When dressing the infant be sure not to layer too much that overheating will occur, thermoregulation is very important. No devices created to monitor the infant’s cardiorespiratory status and position should be used due to the fact that the safety of these devices has not yet been established and there is no concrete evidence at this time to prove that the devices reduce the risk of SIDS (Davidson et al., 2016).

Look for a health and sanitation rules sign. This sign should address hand washing procedures related to food preparation and diaper changes. Additionally, it should outline the steps taken to wash and sanitize toys, feeding utensils, and pacifiers, etc.

One way which is very important is placing the infant on its back to sleep. This aids in helping the child breathe and keeps the air ways open and clear. Taking everything out the infants crib including sheets, toys and pillows can help prevent SIDS. Anything in the crib has the ability to affect the infants breathing. The infant should be placed in a bare crib on a firm mattress to sleep. Overheating the baby is also a factor that can be prevented by using a sleep sack or the bare minimum of clothing. In order to keep the baby warm you could use a light sheet that only covers the infant’s shoulders to their feet. It is not recommended to place a sheet over the infant’s head. This could also overheat the baby and cause the babies airways to be blocked. The baby should sleep alone at all times. Allowing the infant to sleep with you creates many risk for SIDS to develop. It is also a suffocation risk. There have been many cases where infants were accidentally killed by the parents rolling over on them. An infant should be in his or her crib alone at all times during sleep. Breastfeeding you baby for the first six months is also said to help prevent SIDS. Breastmilk reduces respiratory infections and improves the infant’s coordination in breathing while swallowing. Premature babies must learn how to coordinate breathing and swallowing.

Action Plan: If a child starts coughing frantically, there are chances that he or she would be able to cough the object back out. On the other hand, if the child experiences difficulty breathing or turns blue, rush him to the doctor. The doctor will get a few tests done and then either pursue the treatment on his own or refer you to an ENT specialist.
