1st ed. 2019 Edition
by Gilbert I. Martin (Editor), Warren Rosenfeld (Editor)
This comprehensive book thoroughly addresses common clinical
challenges in newborns, providing an evidence-based, step-by-step
approach for their diagnosis and management. Common Problems in the Newborn Nursery
is designed to be an easy-to-use, practical guide, covering a full
range of clinical dilemmas: bacterial and viral infections, jaundice,
hypoglycemia, hypotonia, nursery arrhythmia, developmental dysplasia of
the hips, newborn feeding, cardiac problems, late preterm infants,
dermatology, anemia, birth injuries, ocular issues, as well as hearing
assessments in the newborn.
Written by experts in their fields, each chapter begins with a clinical case presentation, followed by a discussion of potential treatment and management decisions and various differential diagnosis. Correct responses will then be explained and supported by evidence-based literature, teaching readers how to discern the normal from the abnormal, the emergent from the non-emergent, and how to make decisions concerning diagnosis encountered on a daily basis.
While
this guide is directed towards health care providers such as
pediatricians, primary care physicians, and nurse practitioners who
treat newborns in the general nursery, this book will also serve as a
useful resource for anyone interested in working with this vulnerable
patient population, from nursing and medical students, to nurses, and
residents in pediatrics or family practice.
