Evidence-based practice to improve outcomes for late preterm infants
Summary
Late preterm infants (LPIs), born between 34-36 weeks, represent a significant portion of births. Addressing the rise in LPIs requires interprofessional collaboration in healthcare settings.
Area of Science:
- Neonatal Medicine
- Obstetrics
- Public Health
Background:
- Late preterm infants (LPIs), born between 34 and 36 weeks gestation, constitute a substantial proportion of preterm births (70%) and overall births (9%).
- The increasing incidence of elective deliveries over the last decade is a suspected contributor to the rise in late preterm births.
- This demographic presents unique challenges in neonatal care and requires specialized attention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the contributing factors and develop strategies for managing the increasing number of late preterm infants.
- To foster collaboration among labor and delivery, neonatal intensive care, and postpartum care providers.
- To address the healthcare needs of late preterm infants within an urban academic medical center.
Main Methods:
- An interprofessional team was assembled, comprising experts from labor and delivery, neonatal intensive care, and postpartum care.
- A collaborative approach was adopted to analyze the issue of late preterm births.
- The setting was an urban academic medical center, facilitating comprehensive care and research.
Main Results:
- The study focused on the collaborative efforts to manage late preterm infants.
- Data on the incidence and contributing factors of late preterm births were gathered.
- Interprofessional strategies were implemented to improve care pathways.
Conclusions:
- Interprofessional collaboration is crucial for addressing the challenges posed by late preterm infants.
- Healthcare systems must adapt to the rising numbers of late preterm births.
- Targeted interventions and coordinated care are essential for optimizing outcomes for this vulnerable population.

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
