Tappero and Honeyfield’s Physical Assessment of the Newborn
Springer Publishing Co Inc (Verlag)
978-0-8261-4062-3 (ISBN)
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. Purchase includes online access via most mobile devices or computers.
