7. Nursing Care Plans for Newborn

   Adelene replied to Adelene's topic in Student Assist

   In reality without all the fancy stuff, I would be taking the baby to the mother’s room and begging her to use skin-to-skin contact and breast feed her baby. I would stand by her side and help her if needed. If that did not work, I would beg her to l...
