Circumcision, Bathing, Cord Care; Crib, Sleep, & Car Seat Safety - Maternity Nursing |

[@jemajamco6037]

Thank you for your lecture about circumcision, this one actually came out in my actual NclexRn exam.

[@LevelUpRN]

So happy to help! --Meris :)

I was first RN( male) to do OB-GYN Nursing. I took care of moms as well as the infants. Most were premature. You covered everything very well. In my area , high risk ( police standards) I helped moms post partum, as well as infant care. Some were very sick. HIV, weaning methadone from heroin users. Covered basics very well👍

Phimosis is treated by Epsom bathing, caused by skin tension from mites. Its supposed to be fused. Your fucking disgusting fucks.

[@emerald3331]

My bf ended up with a badly botched up circumcision that caused him all kinds of problems.

[@ShmeePadge]

unfortunately its super common, hence the reason why it shouldn't be performed on healthy newborns. Over 70% of the world does not practice genital cutting.

[@NikkieRoxxx]

My prayers are with you.. spread the word; circ= mutilation. His penis= HIS RIGHT TO DECIDE!!!

[@trentbritton9708]

"When called out for their role, participants... often attempt to shift responsibility. Parents say they are just doing what the doctors told them to do. Doctors say the hospital requires them to perform circumcisions. Hospitals say they have to offer circumcision or parents will go elsewhere. These excuses all acknowledge that each individual or organization is participating in a larger system. The idea that we are not merely individuals but participants in cultural systems is a core idea of critical social justice theory. However, critical theory also suggests that we are morally culpable if complicit in those systems. This 'Complicity Principle' states that 'one is accountable for what others do when one intentionally participates in a collective that causes the harm together.' Even if genital cutting might occur without the participation of one person or group, 'one is accountable for the harm we do together, independently of the actual difference an individual who intentionally participates in such group action makes.' Participants... might not have an individual ill will towards the child, but they have participatory intention. 'Participatory intention is intention to act as part of a group in collective action of agents who orient themselves around a joint project.' On this issue, the 'joint project' is infant genital cutting. Whether or not they personally touched the child, every person, institution, or aspect of society that participates... is morally culpable for being complicit in this system." Children’s Justice by Brendon Marotta

Circumcision in newborn babies is Male Gnital Mutilation.

[@sadlad9722]

i like how this is a literal objective fact and yet some people will try to argue against it, like bro the dictionary won’t fight back

Hi everyone! Like I said in this video, I'm just here to strictly discuss the nursing care of circumcision as a medical procedure. This is not me making a moral or ethical call on what a parent should or should not do for their children. Regardless of your personal beliefs on the procedure, as a nurse working in this specialty, or a student preparing for the NCLEX, you will need to know how to care for an infant if they had a circumcision. However, I love your passion and your willingness to be advocates for patients, and hope you carry that advocacy into your practice! --Meris :)

[@ShmeePadge]

do you also have information on how to care for a baby girl's circumcision? If this is purely professional and educational, you should have this information handy.

[@LevelUpRN]

@@ShmeePadge As this is not a legally permissible procedure in the united states, this is not a procedure an RN in the united states would be caring for within their scope of practice, and thus is not a topic covered by the NCLEX-RN or by this page.

[@ShmeePadge]

@@LevelUpRN Performing or assisting in unnecessary and cosmetic surgery on a non consenting minor is a blatant violation of all 4 principles of medical ethics and the Hippocratic oath, not to mention the childs basic rights to bodily autonomy.

[@trentbritton9708]

"...you would be wise to resist the temptation to believe that sugar water (glucose) provides anesthesia or analgesia. Sugar may stimulate the opioid receptors in the brain, but this is hardly going to block the excruciating pain of circumcision. If a circumciser ever tries to talk you into letting him give your child a sugar solution while he cuts your child’s penis, ask him if he would willingly substitute a bottle of cola for anesthesia before allowing a surgeon to cut his penis."

Thank you!!!

Thank you!

[@shawnwelch9917]

I had this done to me and my sexual life is destroyed. It was MY sexual tissue that was painfully ripped off and sold for biomedical research and cosmetics. The only thing a medical practitioner should be saying to parents is either nothing at all, or telling them there's no medical benefit. It is traumatic for the child, irreversible, and it is ethically irresponsible to even suggest it. The parent is NOT the patient. The body is NOT their body.

I think you're asking about sleep regressions, in which case, yes! There are some general age ranges where this is likely to happen, however each child is a unique individual and may experience it at different times :) --Meris

[@ashleeinatlanta1576]

How many days until the circumcision is fully healed? If the umbilical cord heals before the circumcision, should the parent still refrain from emerging the infant in water?

[@LevelUpRN]

The circumcision should heal within 7 - 10 days (depending on the text you look at). If the circumcision is done within a few days of birth, it should actually heal right on track with the umbilical cord stump :) --Meris

[@GastropodGaming2006]

physically? days. mentally? never.

My circumcision done by Barber with open legs and it's Heald within 2 week

[@talaynaraae9544]

This was helpful! Except we werent taught to keep the cord dry during a bath; we were taught to do cord care immediately after the bath because the base of the cord will get wet during the bath anyways!

Please don't do this to babies! They cannot say no. You are literally removing a part of their body without their consent. It's cruel. I will forever resent my parents for doing this to me.

You do realize this is an educational video for nursing students for nursing school right? They’re not advocating for anything, this is just for school. If you have something to complain about then go to the medical board/nursing board to advocate your views.
