When it comes to good positions to use while breastfeeding, your comfort as well as the ease with which your baby will be able to feed is the first and foremost concern. Finding a position that you are most comfortable and happy with will make it easier for your baby to latch on to your breasts and feed with ease. Here are some of the best breast-feeding positions that you might use when you are breastfeeding.
This presentation is related with the contents regarding breast feeding. It includes complete information about breast feeding including different pictures and beautifully designed.
Lactation management is the science and art of assisting women and infants with breastfeeding, because the mother-infant pair is dynamically interrelated for breastfeeding, it is imperative to consider both individuals when attempting to assess and “manage” breastfeeding.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

2. INTRODUCTION
Puerperium is the period
following childbirth
during which the body
tissues, specially the pelvic
organs revert back
approximately to the pre-
pregnant state both
anatomically and
physiologically.
3. Accordingto D. C. Dutta
Postnatal care includes systematic examination of the
mother and baby and appropriate advice given to mother
during post-partum period.
Accordingto NadineM. Jacobson
Postpartum care encompasses management of
the mother, newborn, and infant during the
postpartum period. The period usually is
considered to be the first few days after delivery,
but technically it includes the six week period
after childbirth up to the mother’s postpartum
check-up with her health care provider.

7. BUBBLEHE
The nurse should follow an organised
method when examining the post partum
client , which provides a consistent ,
quality approach to nursing care .The
acronyms , “BUBBLEHE” can serve a
helpful reminder of the elements in a
postpartum assessment .
10. •Breast
•On palpation after delivery , breast
usually are enlarged , soft and warm and
contain only small amount of colostrums .
•The mother may be experience breast
engorgement , which may begin as a
tingling sensation in her breast , 2-4 days
after delivery
•Milk is released through infant sucking ,
manual expression , or pumping
•Analgesic given if breast pain occur .
•Provide cabbage leaves to reduce pain
&swelling.

15. •Management of Bleeding
•After delivery of the placenta 20 to 30 units of
oxytocin often is added to the intravenous solution .
•Or can administering oxytocin intra muscular 10
units .
•Initiating early breast feeding or performing nipple
stimulation is employed .
•If remains boggy than despite massage and oxytocin
administration or if bleeding continue than
pharmacological agent start :-
•Methargin (0.25 mg)IM
•Prostaglandin which can be given when methargin
can not stop bleeding or contraindicated .
16. Uterinepain
•The key to effective relief from
after birth pain is an empty bladder .
•Once the bladder is empty, the
woman may lie prone with a pillow
under her lower abdomen , which
keeps it contracted and thus
eliminate after birth pain .
•Analgesic can be effective .
17. •In the immediate postpartum period, the
bladder is congested , edematous and
hypotonic from the effect of labour .
•After delivery , the client should urinate
within 4 hours , at least 300 ml , with
completely emptying the bladder .
•After delivery within 24 hour cause diuresis
up to 3000 ml per day occurs in the first 2 to 3
days .
•Should be noted and informed to the physician
.
•Straight catheterization must be done .
Bladder
18. Bowels
•Following vaginal delivery , bowel movement
normally occurs after 2 to 3 days .when gastric
motility does not return by 2-3 days ,
constipation occur .
•The client should be encouraged to drink
should be 6to 8 glasses of fluid daily ,eat a high
fiber diet (whole grains , legumes , vegetable
and fruits )
•Sitz bath
•Enema may be given
•Stool softner dulcolax , topical ointment etc.
19. •Lochia
•when the bleeding is heavy, ensure that
the source of bleeding , it may be
laceration .
•Saturation of vaginal pad with in 15- 30
min then pph.
•CBC may indicate 1.0 to 1.5 g/dl
decrease in Hb level.
20.
21. •Episiotomy
•An episiotomy is the surgical incision made to enlarge the
vaginal opening for delivery of the baby’s head .
•Care of the vulva includes applying ice packs to the perineum
for the first 24 hour.
•Should not be applied to the directly to the skin , should be
wrapped with an absorbent disposable type of covering .
•After the first 24 hour following delivery . a sitz bath with
warm water may be used .
•The client should be taught perineal hygiene . including daily
wash with warm water and mild soap.
•The perineum should be cleaned after each voiding .
•Perineal pad frequently changes after each voiding , removing
pad from front to back , and hand washing will help decrease
the risk of infection .
•To perform perineal exercises such as kegel exercise .
22.
23.
24. Homan’ssign
•Assessment of homan’s sign must be done for
all postpartum cliens,to check for presence of
thrombophlebitis .
•Should be perform leg exercise, to teach the
client to flex and extends the both leg and feet
alternatively .
•Keeping the leg uncrossed while seated.
•Not flexing the leg at groin .
•Resting the leg without putting pressure on the
back of the knees.
