Spina bifida: If it is true spina bifida occulta meaning there is no open lesion on the lower back there is no special nursing care required.

None needed: Spina bifida occulta is usually found as an incidental finding when evaluating the cause of back pain. unless there is an indication of bladder or bowel dysfunction related to a tethered spinal cord there is no need for a nursing care plan.
