I feel very badly that you were made to feel so inadequate. I wonder why the
nurse left you alone with an unstable infant? In our neonatal setting a
nonnurse is never left with a sick infant. For your information there are
30cc in an ounce. 15cc is exactly 1/2 ounce. Given the information you just
gave us it would seem that you gave almost the exact amount the doctor
ordered. Often immature infants have trouble stabilizing their glucose. I
would wonder why the baby's IV was discontinued, if his blood sugar was still
unstable. I don't think your one feeding was the cause of this infant's
blood glucose instability.
