Abstract:
After studying the factors which most often lead to the hospitalization, recuperation and treatment facilitating release from hospitalization of newborns affected by myelomeningocele, we present this treatment plan. One commences with an evaluation, after which various problems are detected. Once identified, establish priorities setting objectives to meet and their corresponding dates; continue by drawing up an action plan which lists those activities that help achieve one's objectives. The purpose of this plan is to provide individualized quality treatments as well as to create a relaxed, confidential atmosphere in which parents express their fears while becoming secure in their practice of those treatments their child needs in their home.
