13 Cleaning of Cell Phones in the Neonatal Intensive Care UnitWood, Kari M.2019Problem: Mobile devices are known to harbor bacteria and viruses. Since these devices, including cell phones, are now more common in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), it can be postulated that thorough cleaning of these devices may help protect immunocompromised neonates. This project explore...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP
14 Thermoregulation During Neonatal TransportJensen, Aimee2018Background: Thermoregulation is important during neonatal resuscitation to decrease morbidity and mortality.
