Susan, a 19-year-old woman, delivered her first infant prematurely 5 days ago. Although her post- partum course has been relatively uneventful, the infant has had difficulty and must remain hospital- ized. Susan and her young husband visit the nursery every afternoon to be with the baby, but they ask very few questions. In talking with the couple, the nurse learns that the only living grandparents of the baby live a great distance away. Susan will not have any family or friends to turn to when she takes the baby home.
In this high-risk perinatal case, Mercer’s frame- work should be useful for nursing assessment and intervention to facilitate maternal role attainment.
How would you use it as a guide in planning care for Susan?
