Specialties Ob/Gyn

Hi I have came up with some on my own such as ineffective breast feeding related to knowledge deficit as evediencd by Mom stating "I don't know what I am doing"

any other suggestions for nursing diagnsois for postpartum moms as well as nursing outcomes/goals for each.

Thanks for the time and help

breast feeding, ineffective or interrupted (r/t knowledge defecit, etc)- this can also be tied to hemorrhage and prolonged first stage

caregiver role strain (r/t premature birth, congenital defects, etc)

coping, family: compromised (r/t role changes, family disorganization)

fatigue (r/t stress, pregnancy, sleep deprivation)- r/t prolonged first stage, htn, pih

parenting, readiness for enhanced

self-esteem, situational low r/t poor feeding, etc

sleep pattern, disturbed

deficient knowledge (learning need) regarding reproduction, contraception, self-care, Rh factor- EDUCATION IS HUGE for PP moms

acute pain/discomfort r/t Cesarean Section or 3rd degree laceration or episiotomy and operative lady partsl birth, etc

deficient fluid volume (r/t pih, ghtn, hemorrhage)

risk for impaired parent/infant attachment

risk for injury

risk for infection

imbalanced nutrition, more or less than body needs

anticipatory grieving- I'd save this for a demise

risk for interrupted family process
