Observe anus for patency. Presence of meconium indicates patency
We no longer do a rectal thermometer, now we wait for them to pass meconium and if
has been over 24 hours without it then we will check but we do not want to traumatize
the anus with the temperature probe unnecessarily

Hands and Feet: to be inspected for syndactyly and polydactyly
Spine
Straight with no curvature
Also, check for a sacral dimple or pit at the base of the spine: this may be within normal
variant, but if it is very deep and there is something that resembles a tuft of hair in the
bottom of it, it must be investigated to ensure that that pit doesn't communicate all the
way to the spinal cord.

Baby gets a heel stick to get blood drawn
Most all the enzyme deficiencies they test for, like sickle cell traits, PKU, and a lot of the
disorders, are all checked in universal newborn screening. Blood goes on little circles of
paper and to test the blood they hole punch the paper off to test it.
This means if the baby has PKU (Phenylketonuria) that you are unable to process phenal
ketones and this is important to know right away because there is a lot of food that has
those ketones in it.
Every baby also receives a bilirubin test in the blood because of an immature liver.
Jaundiced hyperbilirubinemia is the most common issue with babies.
,Hearing screen - Answer The one that is most commonly used assesses the auditory
brainstem response to ensure that the brainstem is responding to the sound rather than

Days 1-12 (Stimulation to Ovulation)

gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
GnRH orders ant. pituitary to release follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
FSH stimulates follicle production in ovary (10-20 start to develop but usually only 1
