Neonatal jaundice is caused by high bilirubin levels in newborns. The nursing care plan is for a 3 day old male infant with a bilirubin level of 26.46 mg/dl presenting with yellow skin discoloration and lethargy. The objectives are to decrease bilirubin levels, increase energy levels, and provide proper treatment through frequent breastfeeding, monitoring intake/output, and phototherapy. After 8 hours the bilirubin level decreased to 19.5 mg/dl and the infant was more active and feeding well, indicating the treatment plan was effective.
