Adapted clinical practice guideline: neonatal skin care

Mgr.Jaroslava Fendrychová, Ph.D.
Katedra ARIPP, NCO NZO Brno

The paper presents 11 domains of an adapted clinical practice guideline which is to provide nurses and midwives with practical information

concerning care of the skin and umbilical cord stump of a newborn baby on the basis of the best available evidence. The goal of the

practice guideline is to unify care and avoid obsolete and unnecessary activities. The guideline contains procedures aimed at assessment

of the current condition of the skin of the newborn baby, identification of possible risks of skin integrity impairment, realization of interventions

to support and protect optimum skin functions, minimization of the potential for future skin sensitization, and prevention of

development and spreading of infection. The clinical guideline is intended for neonates of all gestational categories except for neonates

with congenital skin diseases or umbilical cord stump abnormalities.

Keywords: skin care, neonate, clinical practice guideline
