Newborn babies are examined at around 6 to 72 hours after their
birth to rule out major congenital abnormalities and reassure the
parents that their baby is healthy. This practical text is a
step-by-step guide for all practitioners who undertake this
clinical examination. It is particularly valuable for midwives and
nurses undertaking Examination of the Newborn modules as well as a
useful reference work for those already performing this role. It
provides midwives and other practitioners involved in neonatal
examination with a comprehensive guide to the holistic examination
of the newborn infant. Examination of the Newborn encourages the
reader to view each mother and baby as unique, taking into account
their experiences preconceptually, antenatally and through
childbirth. The text covers: * the role of the first examination as
a screening tool; * normal fetal development; * parents' concerns
and how to respond to them; * the impact of antenatal diagnostic
screening; * the events of labour and birth; * the clinical
examination of the neonate; * the identification and management of
congenital abnormalities; * accountability and legal issues. This
new edition is thoroughly revised throughout to meet current
Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), General Medical Council (GMC)
and National Screening Committee standards. It reflects the new
standards and key performance indicators (KPIs) from Public Health
England (2016b). Case scenarios, model answers, questions and
further reading help the reader to apply the content to their own
practice.
