Primary Care of the Newborn - Softcover

A practical, comprehensive handbook that addresses the wide range of issues that are considered in a full-term newborn nursery. 28 chapters cover the process of pre-natal visits, discharging and the various medical/surgical concerns in all the body systems. The text includes a drug dose list and all the chapters are tied together by the baby's movement from labour and delivery - to nursery - to home or when necessary, to intensive care and by consideration of the issues incolved in those transitions.
