Nursing Care Plan for Preterm Newborn

1. Baby B is at risk for infection due to prematurity, an immature immune system, and an intravenous therapy procedure. 2. The nursing care plan aims to educate Baby B's mother and significant others on infection risk factors and prevention measures over several hours and weeks. 3. The short-term goals are for the family to understand risk factors and identify prevention interventions, while long-term goals are for Baby B to avoid infections like pneumonia and be free of symptoms after one month.
