I dont know the exact wording of it, but inpaired family coping due to newborn having health concern?

Or impaired bonding due to (im assuming), being in isolette to monitor temp?

Just trying here before I head off to bed!

Good luck!

Knowledge deficit R/T inexperience? or R/T NICU/nursery environment? Maybe? Is this a healthy term baby?

We don't know... they make us do our careplans the night before, but don't make us go get pt info the night before our newborn day.

Impaired gas exchange

Ineffective airway clearance (these would be related to immature lungs, not sure of the nanda term)

I know ths is late but don't forget the parents in the plan of care!

Anxiety

risk for caregiver role strain (especially if she already has more kids)

Anticipatory grieving (if something is wrong with baby or baby is premnature)

Does NANDA have wellness diagnoses? My clinical instructor said that most babies are healthy and you don't want to give them problems. I frequently use

Inclusion of new family member

Effective thermoregulation

effective gas exchange
