Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals for postpartum care by maintaining close observation in the immediate postpartal period to detect maternal hemorrhage, encouraging and supporting women as they begin breastfeeding, and ensuring women receive reproductive life planning information if desired. Bed rest and attending prenatal classes to learn newborn care are not strategies to support the 2020 National Health Goals for postpartum care.
