This course is designed to focus on family-centered care to meet the needs of the childbearing family. Role changes for parents and the relationships among family members and the newborn are discussed. Clinical settings provide an opportunity to integrate and correlate theory and the core competencies of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) by caring for mothers and newborns. Emphasis is placed on the concept of cultural competence in assessment and nursing care of the family for mothers and newborns. Essential concepts include prioritization, communication, providing patient education and facilitating continuity of care following discharge.
