• Provide education on postpartum recovery, self-care, and newborn care, such as diapering, bathing, and recognizing signs of illness.
• Documentation and Reporting:
• Document all assessments, interventions, medications, and patient progress accurately in the electronic health record (EHR) to maintain compliance with hospital policies and legal standards.
• Maintain accurate and timely records of labor and delivery processes, including patient and fetal monitoring results.
• Collaboration and Communication:
