HI! I am trying to write 10 nursing dx for a healthy newborn. This is my first time doing one on a newborn so I am very confused. Can anyone help me? pt is a 1 day old female, lost 2 oz since birth, vitals within normal range, bilirubin 2.4, labia barely swollen, milia on nares, no abnormalities, frequent sneezing, breastfeeding well q 1-2 hrs, planned pregnancy, 4th child, Here is what I have:
risk for fluid volume deficit r/t neonatal transition
risk for ineffective thermoregulation r/t immature compensationfor environmental changes secondary to extremes of age
risk for ineffective airway clearance r/t excess fluid in respiratory tract
acute pain r/t birthing process
risk for infection r/t interrupted skin integrity at umbilical cord site
disturbed sleep pattern r/t new environment/ adjusting
and here is where I am trying to make sense:
Effective breastfeeding r/t ?
readiness for enhanced knowledge r/t ?
enhanced bonding r/t mother/infant contact secondary to breastfeeding....is that even a dx?
readiness for enhanced parenting r/t knowledge of dependent needs of newborn....? she had 3 other children
and I have but dont want to use
risk for injury r/t dependence on cargiver.....the mother seems to be good so is there risk?
Help me please! and feel free to critic anything because I am trying to learn and wont if I am not told.
Thank you!

Most of them are acceptable. :)
I'm quite skeptical regarding the "readiness for enhanced knowledge" since the patient is a newborn. Its better if you would apply that to the mother.
