Newborn Pain Assessment and Management Guideline for Practice

This third-edition guideline offers an updated outline of pain assessment and management practices that are accepted and documented by experts in neonatal care. Recommendations and rationale for infant nursing care reflect the best evidence available on the assessment and management of pain in hospitalized preterm and full-term newborns. Although broad in scope, this guideline provides a foundation for specific nursing protocols, policies, and procedures that were developed by individual institutions. Learners will gain the knowledge and clinical skills necessary to effectively assess and manage postoperative, procedural, and disease-related pain in hospitalized preterm and full-term newborns.
