Many of the women and young mothers are of low family income and coupled with a lack of education, are at high risk of prenatal health problems and future health problems for their children. For this assignment, italicize or boldface any health program or organization you name. Identify programs from your review of the literature. Each adolescent in the program is assigned to a nurse who cares for her during pregnancy through the first postpartum year. Themes for classes include transition to motherhood, interventions in health, sexuality and family planning, life skills, maternal role and social support systems.
Prenatal visits focus on things such as self-care and signs and symptoms of pregnancy complications.
Postpartum visits focus on infant care, well-baby health services and family planning. This is another program example. Remember you need 3-4 program examples in this portion of your report. Women in the WIC program eat better, have healthier babies, and receive early prenatal care. Infants born to WIC mothers weigh more, grow and develop faster.
