With proven techniques and "how to" guidance, this newly revised and updated seventh edition of the definitive publication on neonatal care provides a wealth of in-depth information on the assessment of the newborn. Catherine L. Witt and Carol M. Wallman continue the legacy began by their predecessors Ellen Tappero and Mary Ellen Honeyfield to lead a seventh edition emphasizing the importance of timely interaction between health providers and new parents. A new chapter on communication demonstrates the value of using inclusive language when working with diverse communities and populations, which is a perspective embraced throughout the text. Complementing the wisdom of longtime chapter contributors are the voices of several esteemed new practitioners and authors. This empirically grounded text addresses the physical, physiologic, neurologic, and behavioral implications of a thorough assessment, and explains how healthcare providers can reduce the risks associated with the birthing process and the neonatal period. Common findings and variations are not only illustrated but clearly described. Also included is key information on behavioral and pain assessment, including the use of specific tools with various newborn populations. The book details the importance of gathering maternal and family history, antepartum testing, and intrapartum monitoring, as well as the early detection of variations which may require follow-up, including common treatments. Numerous tables, figures, illustrations, and photos - many of them presented in full color – are a major strength that enhances the book's usefulness as a clinical and educational resource. Ancillaries include an instructor's PowerPoint slide deck and an image bank of photos and illustrations.
