09 Apr Trimester Infographic

You are working in a busy OB-GYN office. After being seen by the provider, the moms all receive discharge teaching from the RNs. You, as the LPN, do a great job of reinforcing the discharge teaching before each client leaves the office. However, the follow up call rate from moms asking questions about their discharge instructions remains high.

The health care team does some brainstorming to come up with ideas that will help the moms understand and remember their instructions after leaving the office. One of the new ideas is to create infographics for each of the three trimesters. Infographics are a great way to provide a visual interpretation of the written instructions. The team feels like having a picture such as an infographic will help moms understand, and also give them something they can hang up in their homes as a reminder.

You have volunteered to create these infographics. The following list identifies what the team has asked you to provide:

Content:

3. Complications and appropriate interventions or actions
