Thoroughly revised and updated, this new edition of Neonatal Intensive
Care Nursing is a comprehensive, evidence-based text for nurses and
allied health professionals caring for sick newborn infants.
This user-friendly text focuses on the common problems and related care
occurring within the neonatal specialty. All previous chapters have been
thoroughly updated and new content includes chapters on, for example,
organisation of neonatal care, assessment of the neonate, the premature
and low birth weight neonate as well as palliative care. In addition,
the book now includes a broad and in-depth web-based companion
comprising online resources, case studies with answer guides and
learning activities. This accessible and interactive approach enables
nurses to recognise, rationalise and understand clinical problems using
an evidence-based approach. Divided into four parts, the book provides
an overview of neonatal care, and a detailed look at the physical and
emotional wellbeing of neonate and family, a range of clinical aspects
of neonatal care, and key practices and procedures.
Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing will be essential reading for both new
and experienced nurses, allied health professionals and students
learning about neonatal care including those undertaking qualifications
in the neonatal specialism and pre-registration students taking relevant
modules or placements.
