Care of the Newborn by Ten Teachers (Hodder Arnold Publication) 2010

Part of the popular Ten Teachers series, Care of the Newborn by Ten Teachers
presents a detailed account of care of the normal neonate, including
the minor health problems that midwives are expected to deal with on a
daily basis, and provides care and treatment strategies for the neonate
and family.

The emphasis of the book is on normal neonatal care
with deviations from the normal threaded throughout the book, including
recognition, causes, treatments and care. Taking a holistic approach,
each chapter is underpinned by theory and practice, with professional
guidance, rules and codes for midwives made explicit throughout.
Problems covered include: hereditary problems and genetics, infant
feeding, skin care, thermal care, care of the jaundiced baby,
infectinos, respiratory problems, Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome and birth
injury.

This is an essential text for all diploma and degree
student midwives, as well as those on post-qualifying courses in
neonatal care and midwives returning to practice courses. It is also a
useful reference for qualified midwives, student nurses on the child
branch, and neonatal nurses.
