Home care of the high-risk newborn. 1986

M Censullo

When a newborn at high risk because of prematurity is discharged from the hospital, the family involved faces a time of crisis. Because parents experience increased stress during the transition to home care, both the parents and their infant are vulnerable to the effects of the added stress on the family's health and well-being. Community nursing intervention is a necessary component of care for the family of a high-risk newborn. Nursing strategies that address specific counseling and teaching needs of the family of a high-risk newborn are presented.
