I have to come up with a NANDA dx for a newborn baby. The baby was healthy. Labor was induced at 37 weeks because mom had preclampsia. Baby has no trouble breathing, APGAR 8 then 9. No delivery problems. As far as I know baby is good. What dx do you give for a healthy baby? I have to have six interventions but I can't even think of what dx there is for a healthy baby? Please help???
