Peds Teaching Project

Published

i have a teaching project, for peds, coming up next week and i am unsure if my topic is appropriate!

which would serve as a guide for the parent of the neonate.

as of now my topic is hygiene of a neonate.

is it appropriate for the dx of bacteremia????

has anyone ever done a project similar to this??

any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!

How about signs of illness in the neonate including how to take the temerature? Just thinking about the diagnosis here- what do these parents need to learn? Hygiene- yes definitely. But, where did the infection come from? Is this baby going to have problems down the road? Many parents don't have a clue about signs of illness until the baby is so sick that it ends up hospitalized. (Speaking from home health experience.) Good luck.
