Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) is designed to assess an infant's individuality and behavior, including their temperament, state regulation, and interactions with the environment. It can help the nurse show the family their infant's unique characteristics and needs. The other assessment tools listed are used to assess things like hip dysplasia (Ortolani maneuver), gestational age (Ballard Maturity Scale, Dubowitz Gestational Age Scale), and may not be as helpful in demonstrating an infant's individuality.
