APGAR Score for Newborn Assessment on the Nursing Show

Nursing Show Podcast Nursing Show Podcast

Neonatal assessment is one of the skills a nurses and other medical professionals learn in their schooling but don't get a chance to use very often.  Some providers may never use the APGAR score assessment technique in their entire careers.  That doesn't mean that we don't have to refresh our memories periodically.

This week's Nursing Show episode takes a look at the APGAR score and reviews the components of this valuable newborn assessment tool.  Of course, host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic also covers nursing in the news and provides some commentary.  Check out this week's episode at the links below.
