You'll be able to assess a newborn from delivery room stabilization through discharge, recognizing warning signs and guiding feeding support with confidence.
What this track covers

What you will practice
- Score and interpret Apgar findings and decide when escalation is needed
- Perform a systematic head-to-toe newborn exam including primitive reflexes and hip evaluation
- Interpret bilirubin levels against a standard nomogram to guide phototherapy decisions
- Assess breastfeeding latch and decide when supplementation may be indicated
- Identify red flags for hypoglycemia, sepsis risk, and respiratory distress in the newborn
