Short Term Goal: Neonate will maintain resp rate of 30- breaths per min. without evidence of retraction or grunting during 12 hr shift. Short Term Interventions:

  1. Remove mucus from infant nose and mouth with bulb syringe as needed.
  2. Assess respiratory rate, depth, labor or unlabored and breathe sounds.
  3. Document the quality of the newborn cry and assess for periods of crying during the shift. Long Term Interventions: Short Term Rationales:
    1. It is important to remove secretions from the mouth and pharynx to prevent aspiration. (Pillitteri. 2010)
    2. Expiratory grunting diminished breath sounds are all signs of respiratory distress. (Pillitteri, 2010)
    3. A newborn that is crying is also breathing. The sound of crying is made by a current of air passing over the larynx. Short Evaluation: Goal met neonates breaths are kept at 30- per min.

8 10/07Rev^ &^ Approved^ RN^ Program^ Director & Faculty Sara Bernard 6/5/ Long Term Goal: Mother will be able to properly remove mucus from newborn’s mouth and nose with bulb syringe by discharge.

  1. Teach mother to decompress bulb syringe prior to insertion and never suction vigorously.
  2. Teach mother to position her newborn’s head down and to the side when suctioning.
  3. Encourage mother to allow infant to cry at times. (Pillitteri, 2010) Long Term Rationales: 1. Vigorous suctioning can irritate the mucous membrane and lead to an infection. (Pillitteri, 2010) 2. The head-down-and-to-the-side position facilitates drainage. (Pillitteri, 2010) 3. The more lusty the cry, the greater the assurance the newborn is breathing deeply and forcefully.

Risk for ineffective thermoregulation r/t newborns transition to extrauterine environment. (Pillitteri, 2010) Short Term Goal: Newborn maintains axillary temp of 98.6 F during 12 hr. shift. Short term interventions:

  1. Check axillary temperature every four hours during shift.
  2. Keep newborn swaddled.
  3. Encourage mother to hold the Short term rationales:
    1. Unstable temperature in a newborn may indicate an infection may be present. (Pillitteri, 2010)

  1. This helps prevent rapid heat loss. (Pillitteri, 2010)

(Pillitteri, 2010) Short Term Goal: Umbilical cord will remain free of infection during 12hr shift. . Long Term Goal: Mother will properly demonstrate care of the umbilical cord by discharge. Short term interventions:

  1. Inspect the umbilical cord ensuring it is securely clamped.
  2. Teach parents to wipe umbilical cord with alcohol at each diaper change.
  3. Keep umbilical cord clean and dry. Long term interventions:
  4. Explain why not to use creams, lotions, or oils near the cord.
  5. Encourage parents to give the newborn sponge baths until the cord falls off.
  6. Teach parents how to fold the diaper back below the level of the umbilical cord. Short term rationales: 1. If a clamp loosens before thrombosis obliterates the umbilical vessels, hemorrhage could result. (Pillitteri, 2010) 2. Wiping the cord at each diaper change helps to hurry drying and possibly reduce the development of infection. (Pillitteri, 2010) 3. Prevents infection. (Pillitteri, 2010) Long term rationales: 1. These products slow the drying process of the cord and invite infection. (Pillitteri, 2010) 2. Prevents the umbilical cord from becoming immersed in water during a bath. (Pillitteri, 2010) 3. This keeps the cord from getting wet when the diaper is wet. (Pillitteri,2010) Short term evaluation: Goal met no sign of irritation or infection on or near umbilical cord.
