Assessment Nursing Diagnosis
(Supporting data) (NANDA diagnostic statement)
Subjective:
MOC states “I have no milk
because I had a c-section”;
MOC is using S&S to
supplement feedings.
Objective:
Baby L is consuming 20-30
mL of formula per feeding;
MOC’s breasts are very
tubular in shape, very little
mammary tissue present;
cannot express milk with
pump. Baby’s weight has
remained constant since birth
