PY - 2013 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Obstetrics & Gynecology, 11e AB - A full-term newborn is a baby born at 37 weeks' or more gestation. Term newborns are evaluated in the delivery room immediately after birth to assure that they do not require respiratory or circulatory support, have no birth-related trauma or congenital anomalies requiring immediate intervention, and are transitioning as expected to extrauterine life. Approximately 97% of newborns are healthy and require only routine care in the nursery after birth. In the nursery, newborns receive a thorough evaluation to determine maturity, evaluate growth and development, and identify those with signs of acute illness or underlying congenital disease.
