Provincial Public Health Nursing Standards: Prenatal, Postpartum, and Early Childhood
Public health nursing practice aims to improve population health using strategies that promote, protect, and preserve the health of children and families in Manitoba. The Provincial Public Health Nursing Standards: Prenatal, Postpartum, and Early Childhood articulate minimum practice expectations for public health nurses (PHNs) in the areas of prenatal, postpartum and early childhood. The standard statements, practice expectations, supplemental documents, and toolkit were developed with input from multiple PHNs and practitioners across the province. The standards are supported by the following supplemental documents.
Supplemental Document I: Public Health Nursing: Prenatal, Postpartum and Early Childhood Practice Examples
This document illustrates standard statements and practice expectations at the individual/family level, and the community/ population level in the prenatal, postpartum and early childhood periods. Each practice expectation is linked to a PHN competency statement, as defined by the Community Health Nurses of Canada.
