title: Postpartum follow-up goals and assessment.
abstract: The bridge between hospital and home in the puerperal period needs to be assessed for effective intervention, anticipatory guidance, and support in parenting careers. Through the development of specific goals, assessment criteria and cultural implications, the nurse practitioner can hopefully minimize the development crisis for the postpartal family unit.
