Nsilo Case Study

The newborn and infant physical examination, NIPE, is performed by a qualified NIPE practitioner (Department of Health, DoH, 2015; Public Health England, PHE, 2013), within the first seventy-two hours of an infant’s life. This screening consists of a head-to-toe examination of the infant, including, but not limited to: the heart; the eyes; and the hips. During the examination, the practitioner will take the time to promote good health and wellbeing of the infant, by teaching the family how to identify signs of a well and unwell infant (Someren, 2013). The intention of the examination is to assess whether the infant has any congenital abnormalities (DoH, 2015; PHE, 2013). The NIPE is a developmental examination which is replicated between six and eight weeks after the infant’s birth, to screen for congenital disorders that become prominent in their physiology within this time period.
