Does anyone have a link to OB Nursing Care Plan books?
Or titles of such books?
You know, the ones with nursing diagnosis, interventions, and such specifically for OB?
Thanks

I always just used my regular NANDA Nursing diagnosis manual. Remember that they may have more than simple, "lady partsl birth, acute pain" going on. A book like that tries to fit people into a box (not that nursing diagnoses don't). Don't try to narrow it down more. Look at your patients holistically and go from there. I had patients with a good 15 NDs or more when I precepted in OB.
