The major focus of this unit of study will be the holistic care of the sick neonate and their family. Knowledge underpinning the systematic assessment of the sick neonate will be developed through a review of the relevant theory and research. The reasons for a neonate becoming sick will be explored and appropriate interventions examined. At the end of the unit the student will be able to interpret physiological data and initiate appropriate action.
