Newborn Infection Prevention Plan

The nurse assessed a 2-day old infant whose mother expressed concern about infection. The nurse planned to monitor the infant's vital signs every 4 hours and teach the mother about infection prevention including proper handwashing. The goal was for the infant to remain infection-free during hospitalization and for the mother to verbalize measures to prevent infection by the end of the nurse's shift. Through aseptic precautions and education, the nurse aimed to protect the infant's immature immune system from pathogens and evaluate if the goals were met.
