The Newborn Infant Physical Examination (NIPE) is a screening assessment completed on all babies between six and seventy-two hours of age. This concise guide offers a comprehensive step-by-step framework for pre-registration midwifery students to learn about all aspects of the NIPE. Evidence-based, well-illustrated and packed with activities, tips, case studies and think points, it takes into account the national screening committee standards. Offering a clear direction on how to perform the NIPE in practice whilst exploring the wider context of screening in healthcare today, the book also addresses the role of the midwife, history taking, health promotion and communication skills.
