Discharge planning for sepsis neonatorum?

hi there.... i really need help on our case study...... please help me do a discharge planning for sepsis neonatorum.....thank you....

Start with anticipating what the needs of the infant will be once he's d/c'd to home from NICU. Will he need nutritional support, continued medical care from specialists, medications, home health, continued ventilation or supplemental oxygen supplies? Any other DME or other equipment? Who will be the primary caregiver? Will there be a backup to provide respite? What about the family? They may have knowledge deficits, fears and other concerns that need to be addressed. The parents may need to be educated/trained in the care of the infant and the infant's needs. The family needs a support network and resources to turn to when needed.
