Newborn Care Curriculum for Late Preterm Infants in Level II NICU

This curriculum module focuses on the care of late preterm infants in Level II NICU settings, covering topics such as respiratory management, feeding difficulties, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, sepsis, hyperbilirubinemia, and discharge planning. It includes learning objectives, nursery care levels, physiological differences between term and late-preterm infants, management plans for common issues, and evaluation of discharge readiness. The content emphasizes understanding nursery care levels, formulating appropriate management strategies, and organizing safe discharge plans for late preterm infants.
