Description
Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing is an information-packed, evidence-based text for experienced neonatal nurses, paediatric nurses and midwives caring for sick newborn babies. Clearly written by practising neonatal nurses and teachers, it concentrates on the common problems occurring within the neonatal intensive care unit, enabling nurses to recognise, rationalise and remedy these problems using both a multi-systems and an evidence-based approach. In addition, the text includes case studies and exercises to promote critical thinking and decision-making, and allowing nurses to link knowledge to practice.
User-friendly and well sign-posted with a glossary of terms, this text is essential reading for nurses and midwives caring for sick newborn babies within the intensive care area of the neonatal unit and also for nurses undertaking qualifications in neonatal nursing.
