Field Guide to the Normal Newborn (Part of the Field Guide Series)

This handy pocket book is a quick and easy-to-follow guide to the processes and procedures used in care of the normal newborn. It is ideally suited for family physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who, in today’s managed care environment, must assume responsibility for newborn care.

The book sharply focuses on the “what” and “how” of normal newborn care and provides references to other texts that explain “why.” Information is presented in tables, charts, and algorithms that practitioners can scan at a glance. Also included are line drawings that illustrate procedures and photographs of common skin and eye disorders.
