This maternal-newborn nursing care text is the definitive publication on neonatal care illustrates how to systematically and accurately gather assessment data and interpret results.

Because assessment skills are such an integral aspect of practice, many individuals take them for granted, yet all health professionals who perform newborn examinations―including nurses, neonatal and pediatric nurse practitioners, nurse-midwives, physicians, therapists, and students preparing for advanced practice roles in neonatal care―can benefit from the essential content presented in this book.
