The following nursing diagnoses are to be used in this teaching plan:

Ø Risk for infection related to 2nd degree episiotomy.

Ø Knowledge deficit related to lack of knowledge about episiotomy.
Ø Pain related to trauma to perineum as manifested by client, requesting pain medication.
After assessing K.C., it was noted that she was at risk for the following nursing diagnoses and that a teaching
plan was needed. This opportunity helped me establish a good nurse/client relationship. Know that we would
both benefit from this experience. Since I was feeling quite comfortable in this setting, I showed confidence to
teach K.C. all that I knew about her procedure. In return, she would be able to express her feeling about the
wellness of her growing family and concerns she had about the episiotomy.
