Preterm infants display many subtle behaviors that may reflect stress or illness. The NICU nurse who knows his or her patient is able to interpret the behavior and respond with interventions known to support the infant. The use of a behavioral assessment tool such as the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care Assessment Program (NIDCAP; Als, 1986) may enable NICU nurses to describe behaviors that indicate they "know the patient."
