Reference Manual<br />

When writing the plan of care, make sure it is tailored to respond to the problems <strong>and</strong> needs<br />

identified in the mother <strong>and</strong> her baby. For each problem/need, write the following information:<br />

• treatments prescribed<br />

• prophylaxis prescribed<br />

• laboratory or other examinations ordered<br />

• counseling <strong>and</strong> education given<br />

• referrals made<br />

• date to return for care <strong>and</strong> evaluation.<br />

All items should be clearly <strong>and</strong> carefully written in the records or cards of the mother/baby <strong>and</strong><br />

in the delivery room <strong>and</strong> clinic registers. When the recording is good <strong>and</strong> complete, the care is<br />

usually good <strong>and</strong> complete.<br />
