Ok, I'm writing a nursing dx on deficient knowledge. I just need some ideas for how my wording is...

Deficient knowledge r/t newborn care with bulb syringe AEB patient request for information and verbalization of anxiety.

Is this too much, too little?

The basic premise is she was afraid to use the bulb syringe and the baby had some mucous in the nose making her snort alot! The mom wanted to get it out but was afraid to use it so I worked with her and did it. Of course I couldn't get it out either so we had the primary help. But this is the diagnosis I want to include. We have to do three, one of mine is risk for infection and the other is a pain dx.

Any help or suggestions with this knowledge deficiet would be greatly appreciated!!!! :)

Okay, I am a 1st semester student so I am new at this. I will take a stab at it though.....

Knowledge deficit RT correct suctioning of neonate with bulb syringe AEB ..........(the end you had sounded good I thought!)

I will be looking to see what more experienced posters suggest, too! I'm still struggling with wording everytime I have a careplan. SG
