The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale is a tool used to assess an infant's behavior, neurological and developmental status, and individuality. It provides information on an infant's ability to interact, cope, and adapt to their environment, which can help the nurse and family understand the infant's unique personality and needs. Ortolani's maneuver is used to assess for hip dysplasia, the Ballard Maturity Scale is used to estimate gestational age, and the Dubowitz Gestational Age Scale is used to assess physical and neuromuscular maturity.
