While documenting patient care, the nurse notes that a postpartum patient is accepting the birth of the child well. What did the nurse most likely observe to come to this conclusion?
A) Names the child after a well-loved friend
B) Asks the nurse to take a photo of the child
C) Turns the face to meet the infant's eyes when holding the baby
D) Comments that the baby has the most hair of any in the nursery
C
Feedback:
Looking directly at the newborn's face, with direct eye contact or the en face position, is a sign a woman is beginning effective attachment. Naming the child after a well-loved friend, taking a photo of the child, or commenting on the child's hair are not indications that the postpartum patient is accepting the birth of the child well.
