A key text for all those involved in the care of neonates, including nurses, midwives and nursing students, providing a single source of valuable, accessible and fully up-to-date information about neonatal care.

This book will better equip those working in the neonatal field with the knowledge and skills they need to care for neonates in their first year of life. Integrated learning tools, including algorithms, flow charts, summary tables, bulleted checklists and reflective questions, encourage critical thinking and aid understanding. These are accompanied by clear supporting text in line with relevant and recent evidence and research. Other helpful features include Stop and Think boxes and alerts for Standard Precautions and Local Variations

Neonatal care is a speciality that often requires health professionals new to the field to acquire a discipline-specific set of skills. Care practices covered include working out drug dosages, fluid rates and calculations, looking up normal blood ranges and understanding the mode of ventilation a neonate is receiving, to name just a few. Overall, this book will empower neonatal carers as they improve their skills and achieve the best results for those in their care.



A practical guide for the nursing care of neonates within hospital and home settings for the first year of life.

Arvustused

This text covers both the healthy neonate and babies born sick / preterm and discusses issues around discharge and initial time at home as well as the care of hospitalised infants. The use of tables, flowcharts and pictures allows pertinent information to be shared in a clear and easy to read format whilst also being referenced to point the reader to up to date best practice and evidence for further reading.

This book will be a very useful, practical guide to all staff and students caring for neonates in any setting. Stop and think points will be especially useful for those new to the speciality. The web companion enables the reader to find additional material to enhance their knowledge. I will be recommending this text to both preregistration student nurses and midwives and students undertaking neonatal QIS modules.

Im delighted to support this new and innovative Neonatal Care handbook, presenting a comprehensive overview of key principles in all aspects of neonatal care.

The design and approach is very straightforward to follow, incorporating supplementary information via web based resources and encouraging the reader to identify relevant local variations and practice points. The chapter, Developmentally supportive care to promote well-being in the neonatal setting aligns itself seamlessly with key principles in neonatal palliative care , focussing on comfort measures for the baby and their family, thus nurturing and enhancing the family experience. Family integrated care values are threaded throughout the handbook, ensuring the baby and their family are central to all care planning.

The layout is very easy to follow, incorporating additional learning opportunities via web based information and giving the reader opportunities to identify relevant local variations and practice points.

This is a 'must' companion handbook for all healthcare professionals working in neonatal care.
