In this episode of the Maternal-Newborn series, we review Chapter 19 of ATI’s Edition 12.0, which focuses on discharge education and client self-care after birth. From perineal hygiene and breast care to nutrition, contraception, activity, and recognizing warning signs, we cover the essentials every nurse should teach postpartum patients. This episode also walks through discharge instructions for both vaginal and cesarean deliveries, with clear nursing priorities and patient-centered interventions to help families transition home safely and confidently.
