At this stage, the puerperal woman and her newborn (NB) require nursing care directed to these adaptations and require the use of the Nursing Process (NP) for the identification of the Nursing Diagnosis (ND) and planning of a personalized assistance [2]. The NP is a methodological instrument that enables to identify, understand, describe, explain and guide the needs of the person, the family or the human community at a given time of the health-disease process [3], in which the professional nursing care is needed [4].
