Proper swaddling technique February 15, 2011 In the matter of a very short time, a newborn finds themself thrust from the comfort of a mother’s womb to a frightening foreign world. Swaddling is a technique that has been used for many years providing security and comfort while maintaining the newborn’s temperature within an appropriate range. On Tuesday February 15, 2011, I was assigned a patient who I will refer to as “C.M.” and while providing care for her during my clinical shift, I learned that she lacked knowledge relating to correct swaddling technique. C.M. is a 25 year old African American who previously earned a Bachelor’s in Business and currently employed by the corporate office of Gap.

According to the text, empty nest syndrome refers to instances in which parents experience unhappiness, worry, loneliness and depression from their children’s departure from home (Feldman, 521). Women are more likely to suffer from empty nest syndrome because they are usually the primary caregivers of their children. It can be a time of desolation and unhappiness. This topic hits close to home for me. I was a single parent for 15 years, and always joked with my children that I would be happy when they went away to college because it would finally be time for me.

The night before our interview, she had slammed her hand against the wall in an outburst of anger and frustration stating “I can’t stand it anymore” (Oster and Montgomery 41).

In teenagers it occurs frequently and around a period in their lives when their identity begins to change. This tends to occur at a time when both males and females are trying to be unique from their parents, have gender and sexuality issues, and are making decisions for their well being.
