Neonatal Nursing Pre-Test
Questions
Course Introduction
Neonatal Nursing is a specialized course that focuses on the care of newborn infants, particularly those who are premature, ill, or require special medical attention during the first weeks of life. The course covers essential topics such as neonatal physiology, common health conditions affecting neonates, family-centered care, and advanced nursing interventions in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Students will learn to assess, monitor, and support newborns physiological and psychological needs, collaborate with interdisciplinary healthcare teams, and educate parents on neonatal health and development. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based practices, ethical considerations, and the use of modern technology in neonatal care.
