Risk for aspiration in babies?

[dchen]

Okay. I made this nursing care plan before but I somehow forgot how it goes. @__@ I really need some help on how healthy infants are at risk for aspiration..

[Daytonite, BSN, RN]

look at the nanda taxonomy for the diagnosis of risk for aspiration. it lists the risk factors. that should stimulate your thinking on this. [color=#3366ff]risk for aspiration

it helps to have a book with nursing diagnosis reference information in it. there are a number of ways to acquire this information.

• your instructors might have given it to you.
  
• you can purchase it directly from nanda. nanda-i nursing diagnoses: definitions & classification 2007-2008 published by nanda international. cost is $24.95 http://www.nanda.org/html/nursing_diagnosis.html
  
• many authors of care plan and nursing diagnosis books include the nanda nursing diagnosis information. this information will usually be found immediately below the title of a nursing diagnosis.
  
• the nanda taxonomy and a medical disease cross reference is in the appendix of both taber's cyclopedic medical dictionary and mosby's medical, nursing, & allied health dictionary
  
• there are also two websites that have information for about 75 of the most commonly used nursing diagnoses that you can access for free:
