Title: An important nursing intervention when caring for an infant with a myelomeningoc Post by: colleen on Oct 16, 2012 An important nursing intervention when caring for an infant with a myelomeningocele in the preoperative stage would be to
1. Place infant supine to decrease pressure on the sac. 2. Apply a heat lamp to facilitate drying and toughening of the sac. 3. Measure head circumference every shift to identify developing hydrocephalus. 4. Apply a diaper to prevent contamination of the sac.
