The yellowish hue comes from bilirubin, a substance produced from break down of red blood cells, when it reaches a blood level greater than approximately 2.5 mg/dL. This bilirubin is excreted in the stool via the liver, in the case of infants, this process takes more time resulting to accumulation in the skin. Jaundice appearing about 2-3 days after birth, called physiologic jaundice is normal in newborns,however, interventions like phototherapy should be instituted to help the infant's body excrete the excess bilirubin. There are also disorders that can cause bilirubin levels to increase in newborns like blood type incompatibilities, prematurity, polycythemia, etc. If left unresolved, bilirubin may continually increase and cause serious complications such as cerebral palsy, deafness, and kernicterus ( brain damage from very high bilirubin levels). Infants receiving phototherapy, the first line intervention for jaundice, requires special attention to avoid chilling or burning of the skin. Intake and output should be monitored and carefully documented, including continuous assessment for skin breakdown and bilirubin lab values should always be updated. Serum bilirubin levels above 25 mg/dL or higher at any time is a medical emergency and the infant should be evaluated immediately for exchange transfusion.

Other common names for jimson weed include: * devil’s weed * stinkweed * locoweed * thornapple * Angel’s trumpet * Devil’s trumpet Jimson weed grows along roadsides, in pastures and in vacant lots reaching  3 to 5 feet in height. The plant has purple or white trumpet- or funnel-shaped flowers and prickly seed pods which split along 4 seams to reveal numerous small brown or black seeds. Poisonings from this plant are often seen in the Fall, when the plant reaches maturity. The seeds and dried leaves of jimson weed are ingested directly from the plant or in a tea, or smoked, to deliberately produce delirium and hallucinations. Since the plant contains atropine, it produces anticholinergic effects similar to the ACLS drug including: * blurred vision * dilated pupils * dry mouth * tachycardia * drowsiness * confusion Listen to this week's episode of the Nursing Show to find out more from our Toxicology Expert, Lisa Booze of the Maryland Poison Center.  She covers Jimsom Weed and several other plants that your patients may be using for their mind altering effects. ---------------------------------- Stay informed as a nurse: Subscribe to American Journal of Nursing via Amazon.com here ----------------------------------- Don't miss an episode!
