Mrs. E is 30 years of age
Mrs. E is 30 years of age and gave birth to her third baby at home 5 days ago. Her pregnancy, labor, and birth were uncomplicated. Mrs. E noticed yesterday that her baby’s cord stump had an offensive smell. She has brought Baby E to the health center for the first time today because she is concerned that the cord may be infected. The nurse noticed that Mrs. E has wrapped a piece of unclean cloth tightly around the baby’s abdomen, covering the cord stump. Upon further assessment, there was no redness or swelling or skin lesions around the surrounding skin. The mother is tearful and depressed. Her husband is in the islands for two weeks caring for his sick mother. She reports trying to breastfeed, but states, “I’m obviously inadequate at caring for my children and this baby is fussy all the time. I pray all the time, but no one hears me”. Mrs. E is concerned there is an infection because she declined all the immunizations offered in her hospital because she doesn’t believe in them. The nurse is unsure if there is child neglect in the home due to the lack of resources and the mother’s postpartum state so she discusses this case with the director. 1.What kind of safety precaution can we take for a mom and a new born?
