Objective:
Identify drug information (DI) resources used in neonatal practice guidelines in low- and middle-income countries.
Methods:
Individuals with knowledge of national neonatal guideline development completed a descriptive, cross-sectional survey.
Key Findings:
Eighty-five per cent (33/39) of respondents fully completed the survey. Physicians from university hospitals in Africa were primary respondents. Forty-five per cent (15/33) used a single national neonatal guideline. Primary neonatal resources for drug dosing and preparation were as follows: (1) World Health Organization Pocketbook of Hospital Care for Children, (2) Pediatric & Neonatal Dosage Handbook and (3) National Institute for Health and Care Excellence for Infants and Neonatal pathways.
Conclusion:
Low- and middle-income countries with single national neonatal guidelines cite a finite range of DI resources.

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
