Thank you so much for your reply! Another diagnosis for my newborn is... Risk for infection related to immature immunologic response and extrauterine exposure as evidence by strict handwashing/sanitizing orders by caregiver before handling the baby I need evidences and its hrd if baby doesn't have infection, this is only risk for... Interventions will be wash hands before handling the baby Monitor temperature Assess umbilical cord... Any other interventions? or helpful websites would help too... thanks!

If I use Ineffective Thermoregulation R/T immature compensation for changes in the environmental temperature AEB baby always wrapped in a blanket, temperature monitored every? Hour(s)? What other evidences are there? What about the pathophysiology? Help. Interventions would be to keep baby warm by covering with blanket, monitor temp at least every 8 hrs. (Is this right?), what else?

Thank you. For the baby, i wanted to use risk for infection but its going to be related to extrauterine exposure ... im not really sure about it. The baby's umbilical cord is dry and intact, so i can't really use it as a related to factor. Im also having a hard time how to create the pathophysiology. The mom will be impaired skin integrity r/t to inflammation of subcutaneous tissue AEB affected area warm & tender to touch, swelling, redness and protectiveness to site. How does this sound? Interventions will be (1) keep the surgical incision dry, clean & intact by checking for drainage & cleaning with normal saline every 12 hours.(2) administer antibiotics as ordered (3) keep head of bed elevated @ a 30 degree angle in order to prevent pulling the edges of the incision, thus making surgical staples intact and promote faster healing. Im still having a problem with the baby's diagnosis. Please give me some advise on my interventions...

My newborn patient is healthy but im trying to find a "risk for" nursing diagnosis. She is bottle fed, maybe anything related to this? The mom has cellulitis, is impaired tissue integrity a good diagnosis? Any suggestions for interventions?
