i am unclear about what you are asking for.

  • the thread is titled, "help with diagnoses"
  • your post says your patient is the mother of the baby
  • you say in your post that you "can write a psychosocial careplan about the baby boy"

do you need help in how to diagnose? who is the focus of this care plan, mother or child? do you need help with how to write a care plan? see https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/help-care-plans-286986.html - help with care plans

you have provided no specific information for me to help you. diagnosis is based upon abnormal assessment data. assessment consists of:

  • a health history (review of systems)
  • performing a physical exam
  • assessing their adls (at minimum: bathing, dressing, mobility, eating, toileting, and grooming)
  • reviewing the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms and complications of their medical condition
  • reviewing the signs, symptoms and side effects of the medications they are taking
