This exam is taken in a moderately complex care situation.

In this phase of the training course you are responsible for the entire care to the new mother prior

to, during and after giving birth. Take into account cultural differences and the specific customs

and practices in the family with a new baby. Care for the baby and provide support in breast-

feeding or bottle-feeding. In maternity care, collect information about the health situation of the

new mother and the baby. Report the information in the maternity file. Undertake action in the

case of peculiarities, such as consulting the midwife or a lactation expert. Provide the new mother

and her partner with information, advice and instruction concerning nourishment and care for the

baby.

If there are more children in the family, take care of them and involve them in their new brother or

sister. Identify possible problems in the physical, emotional and social areas in good time. Provide

suitable supervision and call in the network and/or other health care providers if required.

The birth of a baby is usually a happy occasion, and many people will want to congratulate the

family in the first few days. This means that, in the case of most new families, you are very

welcoming towards the people from the family’s network.

As a maternity assistant, you are also responsible for maintaining the spaces where the mother

and child remain. Proper hygiene prevents complications and infections.

In order to provide optimum care, you identify developments in the organisation and contribute to

quality measurement and policy within the institution.
