WB2441 Factors Impacting Term Newborn Level of Care Needs at Birth Course
WB2441 Factors Impacting Term Newborn Level of Care Needs at Birth Course is organized by National Certification Corporation (NCC).
Expiration: 12/31/2024
Content Outline:
• Evaluating Appropriate Level of Care for Term Newborns At Birth
• Evaluation of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Use and Needs of Mature Newborns
Objectives:
Describe the benefits to both newborns and their families when the appropriate level of care can be determined at the time of birth
Identify clinical findings persisting after initial stabilization at birth that may be indicative of the need for care in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)
Discuss the common metabolic, infectious disease, hematologic, and neurologic conditions, and special situations that warrant ongoing evaluation to establish the appropriate level of care and treatment needed for the individual newborn
List the key trends that have impacted the increase in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions of newborns greater than 34 weeks gestation
Explain the role and challenges of existing neonatal datasets and registries in the process of identifying care needs of more mature newborns and outline the gaps identified for future research related to the needs of this population
