- Enable participants to recognise deterioration and neonatal emergencies and escalate using appropriate interventions within their limitations.
On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:
- Apply underpinning pathophysiology of disease processes through systems approach in order to evaluate safe nursing interventions for neonates.
- Synthesise and critique knowledge of anatomy and pathophysiology of disease processes in order to implement and perform appropriate care interventions.
- Critically appraise and evaluate relevant care plans and documentation for neonates in special care and high dependency area, with the ability to initiate and modify plans as required.
