Birth Injuries and Hearing Loss
Neonates are susceptible to many damaging forces, both inside the birth canal and during birth delivery. In this course, you will learn about the types of resulting birth injuries, which include extracranial hemorrhages, skull fractures, and damage to peripheral nerve structures. You will also learn about hearing loss, which can occur in the inner, middle, or outer ear due to birth-related causes or outside forces. A universal hearing screening for infants is now widely encouraged to detect hearing impairments. (53 minutes)

Psychosocial Aspects of Nursing in the Neonatal ICU
The psychosocial aspects of care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are complex. Not only are family members trying to cope with a medical crisis, but they are also often experiencing feelings of guilt and grief. Having a critically ill infant in the NICU can easily overwhelm parents' normal coping channels. Many of the parents are adolescent or first-time parents and may be particularly vulnerable to the stresses of having a baby who requires intensive care. As an NICU nurse, you can help parents to cope with a difficult situation and, ideally, to make a healthy transition to parenthood. (58 minutes)

Sepsis and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome
This course provides a comprehensive overview of two common multisystem problems occurring in the intermediate-care neonate.  The first, sepsis, is a consideration for the at-risk premature neonate residing in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).  This course reviews the development of the immune system, sources of infection, and risk factors. It also explores management strategies for sepsis, including antibiotic therapy, immunotherapy, and multisystem support. The course then covers the second common multisystem problem, neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), which stems from maternal drug abuse. (98 minutes)
