title: Prader-Willi syndrome.
abstract: Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a relatively common complex genetic disorder that is diagnostically and therapeutically challenging to health-care professionals. Nursing observations of significant neonatal feeding problems may assist in identification of the infant with PWS. Once nurses become familiar with the characteristics of this multi-system condition, they can provide specific assistance to PWS infants and their families.
