Epidural narcotics are finding increasing favor in management of postcesarean birth pain. Effective pain relief coupled with minimal side effects often make this technique the method of choice. To provide comprehensive and safe nursing care for the mother using epidural narcotics, nurses must be knowledgeable about the technique, drugs, and associated patient responses. Nursing management using a care plan with nursing diagnosis and expected patient outcomes will help nurses plan their care of these patients.
Interrupted breastfeeding was approved by the membership to be added to the NANDA taxonomy in 1992. The diagnosis was developed to name the response that occurs when a breastfed baby cannot be put to breast for some or all of the feedings. Two examples of life processes/events, premature or sick infant and maternal employment, illustrate the application and use of the diagnosis. Nursing interventions for each situation are discussed. A comparison describing the differences between interrupted breastfeeding and ineffective breastfeeding is included to address the controversy of whether or not the diagnoses are the same. A sample diagnosis/care plan is added to demonstrate use of the diagnoses in clinical practice.
