Summary
An exam-focused explainer for nursing students covering expected findings, normal variations and abnormal findings of the newborn's skin, head, face, clavicles, umbilical cord and hips, including vernix, lanugo, birthmarks, erythema toxicum and fontanelles. It uses memory tricks and a closing quiz, so it suits basic newborn examination revision rather than advanced practice.
