This book is very concise and thorough enough for nurses. It is written in a bullet style format and is full of practical information for caring for newborns. It does discuss deviations from normal, but if you are looking for in-depth coverage of diseases and disorders of the newborn you will need another text. There are lots of pictures to help illustrate findings or assessments. There is also a brief discussion of the transition from fetal to neonatal physiology.I'd recommend this to nurses in maternity care settings, or student nurses who need a more concise text on the newborn.
I found this book very helpful. I used it often at work. The one thing I wished is that it wouldn't constantly refer to future parts of the book. I also wish it had more pictures. However overall it is a great resource.
Highly recommend this book - pictures are excellent and the book is a must have reference for nurses working with newborns.
Helps with a better assessment
Met the description
It was a textbook.
Good Information!
I haven't read the whole book yet, but I was shocked by the graphic images in the very beginning of the book: the book starts out with a section of color plates of various conditions a newborn might have. I don't know why, if it is the book is called Assessment and Care of the WELL NEWBORN, they needed to start the book with those images- they could have been tucked away in the back.... Great resource otherwise.
