Identified (Maslow Hierarchy of Needs)
Ineffective breastfeeding Subjective: Ineffective Breastfeeding is defined
by Nanda as a difficulty providing
milk to an infant or young child
Objective: directly from the breasts, which
may compromise nutritional status
of the infant/child. Breastfeeding is
a very beneficial process for both
the mother and her baby. It has a lot
of benefits if a mother is
continuously breastfeeding her
child during the first years of life. It
will provide protection to the baby
from many diseases because
breastfeeding decreases risk if
sudden infant death syndrome,
enhances baby’s brain development
and decreases development of
infections. Ineffective breastfeeding
can be caused by many factors.
Some of which are the presence of
sore nipples, difficulty to sustain
suckling at the breast, inadequate
breast emptying during feeding, and
inadequate milk supply. These are
the possible causes why mothers
experience unsuccessful
breastfeeding

Hypothermia Subjective: Normal body temperature is around
37 °C (98.6 °F). Hypothermia
occurs as the body temperature falls
Objective: lower than normal; usually below
35 °C (95 °F). Hypothermia occurs
when the body fails to produce heat
during metabolic processes, in cells
that support vital body functions.
Most heat is lost from the skin’s
surface through convection,
conduction, radiation, and
evaporation. When the body
temperature drops, the
heart, nervous system and other
organs can’t work normally leading
to complete failure of the heart
and respiratory system and
eventually to death.
