A new mother does not want the baby to return to the nursery because of the fear of someone taking the baby without her permission. What should the nurse explain to the mother to allay her fears?
A) Only people who are known to the staff are permitted in the nursery.
B) Keeping the baby in the mother's room at all times is the best approach.
C) Both the mother and infant have identification bands that need to match.
D) Security questions everyone before permitting them access to the hospital.
C
Feedback:
Hospitals have an identification banding system where the mother's and the infant's identification bands are to match. Only people with proper hospital identification should be permitted into the nursery. Keeping the baby in the mother's room at all times could be dangerous because the baby could be left unattended, permitting someone an opportunity to abduct the infant. Security does not routinely question everyone before permitting them access to the hospital.
