Through the process of investigating and collecting artifacts, I gained more knowledge to support the care of young families. These artifacts provide the necessary information necessary to make informed decisions to determine the best results for this young family and its babies. Research products describe the Australian standards necessary for neonatal care, changes in the mental health status of the postnatal mother, and infant care assessment and development scholars.
According to the Newborn Nurses Association (NANN), neonatal caregivers take care of babies born with birth, birth defects, infections or heart problems. The term "newborn" refers to the first month the baby was born, but a neonatal nurse treats a sick neonate until discharge, even if it takes months. Most neonatal nurses work in a typical hospital setting, usually a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or maternity ward. However, not all neonatal nurses work in such harsh environments. Healthy babies taking care of mothers and babies, babies working in clinics and family health management, care for babies who are following
Neonatal nurses usually work in neonatal intensive care units or newborn intensive care units. A newborn baby means a newborn baby, but a neonatal nurse may work with a baby. Most of the time until the baby leaves the hospital for the first time. In rare cases, a neonatal nurse can work with an infant under 2 years old. Babies born with different vision as well as pregnancy period and weight at birth have different levels of neonatal intensive care unit. Infants need more levels, not just short term breathing assistance. When we weigh 3 pounds at birth, that baby becomes a high-risk category (although much of the much smaller infants survive today)
Neonatal nurses take care of newborns within 4 weeks of age. Generally, neonatal care is divided into three levels depending on the severity of the case. Grade I is designated as a healthy newborn, but many newborn nurses do not have a long career at the I level. Class II is reserved for preterm birth in neonates or newborns with diseases requiring immediate treatment. These newborns usually require special attention such as intravenous infusion, professional nutrition, oxygen therapy, medication therapy etc. They usually take time to mature and grow before they leave the hospital.
