Direct Quote: Sandra Gardner, Neonatal Nurse, and Gerald Merentstein, Professor of Pediatrics, “The
goals of care should be the patient-and family-centered. It is the patient we treat, but it is the family, of
whatever construct, with whom the baby will go home. Indeed, it is family who must live with the longterm consequences of our daily decisions in caring for their baby.”
Paraphrase: Sandra Gardner, Neonatal Nurse, and Gerald Merentstein, Professor of Pediatrics, state in
their book that the goals of the neonatal nurses is the baby but also the family. They might treat the
baby but it’s the family that is affected the most by the baby condition.

impact on the lives they help and their families. This impact is so strong that families continue to stay in
contact with the nurses that helped their infants. These nurses are the voice for these infants with no
voice yet.

6. Literature Book
Direct Quote: John Swales, Professor of Linguistics at University of Michigan, “A speech community
typically inherits its membership by birth, accident, or adoption; a discourse community recruits its

their members naturally; it is something they are born into, something they enter, while discourse
communities bring in their members from outside by means of persuasiveness (220).
