Newborn Assessment Lesson Plan Objective

By the end of the lesson, the nursing student will be able to comprehensively understand the importance of immediate skin-to-skin contact after an infant is delivered. This includes the crucial role it plays in stabilizing vital parameters such as respirations, temperature, blood sugar, and blood pressure while fostering bonding and facilitating breastfeeding. The lesson will empower the student to perform a thorough assessment of the newborn, employing the APGAR scoring system and conducting a head-to-toe evaluation. The nursing student will gain proficiency in therapeutic management techniques, including proper suctioning with a bulb syringe, promoting the first cry for lung clearance, and maintaining temperature stability through appropriate measures.
