Physical/Physical Assessment of the Newborn, now in its fourth edition, continues to be a valuable and essential resource for all those involved in neonatal care. Editors Ellen P. Tappero and Mary Ellen Honeyfield have developed a comprehensive text with a wealth of detailed information on assessment of the newborn.
The book is an excellent resource for beginning and experienced clinicians on gestational, neurologic, and behavioral assessment, neonatal history, and assessment of the dysmorphic infant, as well as evaluation of individual body systems. Implications of antepartum testing and intrapartum monitoring for the newborn and assessing behavioral organization in term and preterm infants are also included.
