Neonatal Assessment Modules 1-5
Expert care of a neonatal patient requires a complete and accurate assessment as well as a thorough review of maternal and delivery records. Modules 1-5 focus on five separate yet crucial portions of a neonatal assessment. These include obtaining a complete history, assessment of gestational age, integumentary, neurological, and musculoskeletal assessments.

Objective 1: Explain the significance of gathering a history;
Objective 2: List the primary features of a neonatal history;
Objective 3: Describe the process to forming a differential diagnosis.
A complete neonatal history is vital to aiding the provider in the development of an accurate plan of care. It also serves as a tool to evaluate for real or potential issues or complications. In this module we will discuss the significance and timing of gathering a history, the primary features included in a neonatal history and will lay the foundations for the development of a differential diagnosis or initial impression.

Objective 1: Define terminology frequently used when discussing gestational age;
Objective 2: List the primary features of gestational age assessment;
Objective 3: Describe the process of determining gestational age.
An accurate estimation of gestational age is key in planning and providing care for the neonate. Understanding fetal growth patterns and the neonates gestational age help the provider identify and plan for those at risk. Gestational age can help determine morbidity and mortality and direct providers in advising families regarding plan of care. Finally, accurate gestational age determination guides research and application to clinical practice. In this module we define frequently used terminology when discussing gestational age, list the primary features and describe the process of determining gestational age.

Objective 1: Define frequently used integumentary terminology;
Objective 2: Explain integumentary anatomy and physiology;
Objective 3: Describe the process of a neonatal integumentary exam.
The skin provides valuable information for the neonatal provider. Through palpation and inspection, a provider can determine the general health including nutrition, organ system function, and expression of systemic or cutaneous disease. The skin also provides important clues for determining gestational age. In this module we define frequently used integumentary terminology, explain integumentary anatomy and physiology, describe the process of a neonatal integumentary exam, and list common neonatal skin variations and lesions.

Objective 1: Explain neurological development & physiology;
Objective 2: Describe the process of a neonatal neurologic exam;
Objective 3: List common neonatal neurologic conditions.
The nervous system provides crucial data for the neonatal provider regarding physiologic function and developmental milestones. Alterations in the neonatal neurological exam can be a result of genetic, environmental, and maternal factors. In this module we explain neurological development & physiology, describe the process of a neonatal neurologic exam, and list common neonatal neurologic conditions.
