Discuss the rationale for choosing a hypoallergenic formula for an infant. Review the pathophysiology of the condition that
necessitates this and why this formula selection is beneficial. Provide mom/dad with resources for accessing the research on the
condition & best sources of nutrition for their infant.
– GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS-
These instructions apply to and should be included in all submissions.
• Create a teaching tool to explain the source of newborn nutrition assigned to you.
• This should be a flier or handout that contains the details of your assignment as well as the references utilized.
o This will be shared with your classmates so that they can utilize it for studying.
• Discuss normal infant weight loss immediately after delivery.
o When will they regain birthweight?
• How often does a newborn need to eat and why?
o If breastfed?
o If formula fed?
1. BASIC INFORMATION:
a. How often does the average formula fed newborn need to eat?
b. What is an appropriate volume of formula per feed in the first 2-3 weeks of life?
c. Provide parents with a trusted resource for information on formula feeding where they can find accurate information backed
by current evidence-based research.
2. NUTRITIONAL STANDARDS FOR ALL FORMULAS:
a. What things are considered essential inclusions in all infant formulas commercially produced.
3. Mothers of infants with special nutritional need require understanding of what necessitates the special formula. Include
the following details:
a. Pathophysiology of the condition associated with it.
i. Symptoms associated with the condition.
ii. RED FLAGS- what are some findings that should alert the parent that the child needs to be evaluated by the
provider.
b. What makes this formula the right choice.
c. How is it prepared- give instructions as though you are teaching it to mom.
4. List formula brands and names – different companies each make their own variation of each special formula.
a. Include a comparison chart of these along with the specific benefits each company cites the infant will gain via taking their
formula.
b. Average cost of each.
5. Provide teaching to mom on how to manage engorgement without stimulating further milk production.
The goal of creating a newborn nutrition teaching presentation is to
prepare the nursing student to provide evidenced based education
to the pre and postpartum client on lactation.
Select safe, effective nursing interventions for the postpartum client
and newborn.
SCHOLARLY SOURCE REQUIREMENT:
Failure to meet this requirement will result in a significant reduction in points earned.
Lack of credit given to source is plagiarism. Plagiarism will result in a grade of zero with no opportunity to resubmit the assignment.
You can use as many resources as you need to, but your references must include the following:
o You are expected to utilize a minimum of 2 current (meaning less than 5 years old) scholarly sources (peer
reviewed, evidence-based journals), cite and reference them appropriately.
§ In-text citations: should be included every 2-3 sentences and for any pictures or charts you use in your
presentation.
o For formulas or breast milk collection devices: you can include the information provided by the manufacturer as
well. They usually can provide a lot of information from trials, etc. However, this should not be the extent of your
research!!
o Your textbook or ATI manual may be used as a source but should not be the only sources you access!

BIO253L Lab Report Guidelines
Submission Procedure and Due Date:  Upload the file to the Canvas submission link by the due date in the syllabus.
Plagiarism: This lab report must represent the student’s own original ideas and wording and cannot be taken either partially or entirely from another published or unpublished work: students must complete the report independently and in their own words.
Unknown identification (80 points): The proper identification of the unknown accounts for 80 out of 200 points. Partial credits are awarded for getting down to only two possibilities, or for getting the accurate family or genus. Your score will be revised upward or downward based on whether you did all the critical tests, interpreted the results correctly, and explained convincingly how you arrived at your conclusion.
Formatting and Presentation (12 points):
The lab report should be computer processed (use Microsoft Word), spell-checked, and paginated (include page numbers, starting with page after the cover page).  Do not allow spell-checker to alter scientific words.  Use commonly used fonts (Times New Roman, Helvetica, Arial, Calibri, etc), size 12.
​
Cover sheet:  On the front page, include your name, section of the lab (BIO253L-L1 or BIO253L-L2), name of the exercise, your unknown ID number, due date and name of professor.
Your lab report will be divided into five sections, each with their own major heading: Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, References.  
Introduction (14 pts)
Introduce relevant theory and present the aim of the research (lab exercise).  
Start with a short general introduction to microbiology, ubiquity of bacteria, and pathogens. Indicate the medical or scientific importance of identifying microorganisms, and end with the goal of the exercise.
Material and Methods (18 pts)
Briefly describe what you did.  Use the passive voice, not the active voice (Instead of writing “I did this or that,” you would write, “This or that was done.”). 
Include enough details so that an experienced scientist could replicate your experiment. Mention all the tests you used. If you followed the protocols described in the lab handouts or lab manual to the letter, just reference them. If your exact conditions were different from the handout or lab manual (temperature, time, amount of reagent, etc.) or the test procedure was not described, make sure to describe them. 
If you want, you can add some figures that demonstrate the difference between positive and negative results in differential tests – but you must cite and reference their sources. Instead of describing aseptic techniques in detail, just write that “aseptic techniques were followed as described in… “ (cite both the lab manual and lab handoutsand include them in your references at the end).
​Figures: All figures in the lab report need to be numbered and need to include a descriptive title.  (For more information on how to prepare a lab report, refer to McMillan’s Writing Papers in the Biological Sciences.)
Results (26 pts)
This is where you present the results obtained, often in the form of graphs and tables.
​A few sentences or paragraphs should guide reader through your tables and figures.
For this lab report, present the results of all tests in one table.  Label it Table 1, followed by a table title.  Table titles should be in bold and found at the top of tables.  Make sure to include headers for each column or row, as necessary. If your table spans more than one page, put Table 1 (continued) as the title at the top of the next pageand put the headers for each column at the top again.  The table should include the results you observed for each test, and how you interpreted the results (e.g. +, -, Gram-positive, facultative aerobe, etc.). Include the pictures of every result in one of the table columns. If you can’t find a picture for one of the results or the picture is of low quality, describe the result obtained (you will still lose points). Describe ambiguous results obtained for some tests.
Make sure to describe the colony morphology for your bacterium in the results section and show a picture of the streak for single or of a few colonies.
Discussion (22 pts)
Usually, this section is where you draw conclusions and parallels, engage in speculation, discuss possible sources of errors or mistakes, and propose future experiments you could perform to refine your hypothesis. 
For this lab report, explain your deductive logicapproach (how you determined the identity of the unknown). Indicate how you chose which section of Bergey’s manual to use, how you figured out the family, genera, and finally the species of your bacteria as you accumulated more test results. Clear writing and logic willbe critical for this section. A flowchart figure of the logical process can be useful sometimes. Make sure to cite the section of Bergey’s manual you used and reference it in at the end.
Present and discuss any problems, difficulties, or issues with the tests or with the determination of the unknown that arose during the course of your lab project.
Add a paragraph that includes additional information about the microorganism species you have identified (make sure to include the references you used).
In your last paragraph, compare your approach with more modern techniques for identifying microorganisms. What are the advantages of the newer methods.
References (10 pts)
Cite in your text and reference at the end of your lab report all literature or manuals used for your research project.  For this lab report, put in the full reference the professor’s hand-out, for the chapter of Bergey’s Manual used, and for the outside source used in your discussion.  Use the APAformat (you can find help in the Biological Sciences” by Victoria McMillan (4th ed.) or at websites online).
Grammar and Writing Quality (18 pts)
Overall writing quality and spelling will also be assessed.
Writing species names: Make sure to use the proper nomenclature and always italicize the species, genus and family names: for instance, Escherichia coli.  Always use the full species name first, then you can abbreviate the species name: for example Escherichia coli at first, E. colilater.
