Description

An Introduction to Neonatal Nursing Care now includes developments in caring for the pre-term, sick newborns while still offering a systematic approach. It is a invaluable book covering all areas of neonatal nursing, providing the reader with genuine examples of clinical practice. The book looks at general issues such as the essence of care, ethics, protection, and welfare. It also presents a range of conditions commonly affecting pre-term infants such as jaundice, renal disorders, and gastrointestinal conditions. Case studies relevant to the topics under discussion encourage readers to reflect on and assess their own practice. Written for nurses, it concentrates on the common problems occurring within the neonatal intensive care unit. This user-friendly book will enable nurses to recognise, rationalise and remedy these problems using both a multi-systems and an evidence-based approach.
