The nurse is partnering with the family of a hospitalized premature infant who suffered an intraventricular brain hemorrhage
The nurse instructs the family that the activities that are appropriate for the infant in the hospital and at home include which of the following? Select all that apply. 1. Interacting face to face
2. Holding and rocking the infant
3. Talking softly and singing to the infant
4. Using a day care for stimulation
5. Discouraging sibling interaction
1, 2, 3
Rationale:
1. Interacting face to face stimulates the infant's sense of vision, facilitating parent–infant bonding.
2. Holding and rocking the infant stimulates the infant's sense of motion, facilitating parent–infant bonding.
3. Talking softly and singing to the infant are activities that stimulate the infant's senses of hearing, touch, and motion, facilitating parent–infant bonding.
4. A premature infant might not have a mature immune system; therefore, day care might present an infection issue. The needs of this child might not be met in a day care setting with many children.
5. Sibling interaction is important, and should be encouraged.
