I am working on a care plan for a healthy newborn and am having trouble coming up with diagnoses. I have risk for infection b/c of a circumcision dressing, risk for altered family processes b/c he is the first baby, his mom had a C-section and is returning to work soon. I need two more, any suggestions? I was thinking about Potential for Enhanced Organized Infant Behavior but cannot find any info about this one. Thanks for any help!

Hope these help.
Risk for infection r/t open umbilical stump
Risk for injury r/t immaturity, need for caretaking
Ineffective thermoregulation r/t immaturity of neuroendocrine system
For the circumcision:
Ineffective health maintenance r/t deficient knowledge (parental) regarding care of surgical area
pain r/t surgical intervention
Risk for infection r/t surgical wound

How about knowledge deficit for Mom - first baby?
Thanks for your help guys! Those sound good! I will try some of them, except my professor said she does not want us to use knowledge deficit for some reason. Thanks!
