What Role Do Nurses Play in Postpartum Care for Preterm Infants?
Postpartum care for preterm infants often involves specialized care in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Nurses in the NICU play a critical role in monitoring the infant’s vital signs, administering medications, and providing developmental care. Additionally, nurses educate and support parents in caring for their preterm infant, both in the hospital and after discharge.
