Resumen	The NBO is a brief, observation-based system designed to illuminate newborn behavioral competencies and individual differences for parents and healthcare providers. Developed by J. Kevin Nugent and colleagues as a companion to the longer Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS), the NBO uses 18 key behavioral observations to characterize newborn strengths and to guide parent education about infant cues, state regulation, and social capabilities. Unlike the NBAS, the NBO does not generate numerical scores but instead provides qualitative, parent-centered interpretation emphasizing infant strengths and readiness to interact.	The N-PASS is a five-item behavioral and physiological assessment tool designed to measure pain, agitation, and sedation in neonates across the full spectrum from profound sedation to severe pain. Developed by Hummel et al. in 2008, it is validated for both ventilated and non-ventilated infants in NICU settings and provides a rapid bedside assessment combining facial expression, extremity tone, vital sign changes, state of consciousness, and cry characteristics.
