Re: Postpartum care plans
I have a nursing diagnosis handbook too- it has diagnoses divided by conditions in the front- its by Ackley and Ludwig. I would probably go with risk for ineffective breastfeeding, risk for infection (esp c-section), risk for exhaustion, risk for altered body image, anything related to pain, altered thought processes (post-partum depression), constipation (narcotics+ fear), ineffective coping, etc. You would be surprised by how many of the normal ones apply, esp for c-sections. My most important would be ones related to breastfeeding- my personal pet subject. Good luck.
