Nursing the Neonate

By Helen Yeo

Nursing the Neonate is written with neonatal, children's nursing and midwifery students in mind, as well as practising neonatal nurses. Clear and accessible, with a host of illustrations, the book begins with a discussion of the history of neonatal nursing and specialist units. It then goes on to look at specific nursing problems and issues facing neonatal nurses, and places them within a wider social, familial and cultural context. This comprehensive text covers all aspects of neonatal nursing. It addresses issues such as discharge planning, stress in the neonatal unit, transcultural nursing and ethics, as well as discussing the clinical care of the newborn and various conditions which may require treatment. Research-based, Nursing the Neonate includes references to the most up-to-date research and practice.
