A Developmental Approach to Casefinding With Special Reference to Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation, and Related Disorders

This book is intended as an aid to nurses in recognising signs of disease and anomalies in infants. The early discharge of infants from hospitals following delivery has greatly increased the responsibility of nurses for case finding before and after discharge. The increased knowledge that is available about abnormalities and their detection in infants and the more intensive preparation nurses receive today can equip them better to carry out this responsibility.
