Question 1
1) Structure of infant skin with difference in James skin
The skin of an infant is different from that of an adult. Normally, a well developed child is seen
to have a thick epidermal layer, the thickness may gradually develop later in adult life. In case of
James it can be seen that his dermis lacks the ability to regulate temperature. The purpose of this
regulation is to make sure that there is a regulation of heat. With the heat production increase the
blood flow in dermis is seen to increase and the skin works on increasing the outer temperature.
The heat is further transferred though the use of adipose tissue finally reaching the dermis. It can
be seen that adipose tissue acts as a poor conductor of heat and even a thin layer will provide
protection to heat loss; neonates are often born with healthy amount of adipose tissue. In similar
regards, it can be stated that James lacks the healthy amount of adipose tissue that can protect
him against unnecessary heat loss. In similar regards, the flow of blood can be termed as one of
the most important factor that determines the body temperature. In can thus be concluded the
blood supply to dermis in James is highly compromised leading to fall in body temperature
(Telofski et al. 2012)
2) How to prevent unnecessary loss of heat in James
Following are the ways that can be used for keeping the baby warm:
Drying and warming the baby right after birth: Wet skin is known to be a great source of
evaporation that can facilitate a quick loss in body temperature. Hence, it becomes important to
dry out the baby immediately after bath. Drying the baby immediately or through the use of skin
to skin contact is a great way for restoring the lost heat and preventing further loss of heat.
Placing a bed warmer or heat lamp is a right intervention for James
Use of open bed for radiant warmer: The mentioned facility makes use of open room that has
scope for air and radiant warmer. The temperature probe on the infant is seen to connect to the
warmer and thus facilitates automatic adjustment of temperature. This intervention can serve as a
helpful intervention for the unborn foetus
