This handy pocket book provides an easy-to-follow roadmap to the processes and procedures essential to care of normal newborns. The ideal quick-reference for family physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical students, and pediatric residents, this guide focuses on the "what" and "how" of normal newborn care-with clear descriptions highlighted by tables, charts, illustrations, and algorithms. Abundant tables and charts provide vital information at a glance-from use of maternal medications in breast-feeding and newborn metabolic screening tests, to a newborn-specific formulary and newborn-specific lab values. Also included are line drawings that illustrate procedures and photographs of common skin and eye disorders.
