The nurse is facilitating bonding of an infant with his parents. Which of the following is a recommended intervention to assist in this process?
A) Remove the baby from the parents and allow the mother time to recuperate.
B) Place the mother and baby with their bodies in the spoon position.
C) Place the swaddled baby between the mother's breasts.
D) Delay eye prophylaxis until after this critical time period.
D
Feedback:
Eye prophylaxis can be delayed until after this critical time period. The baby should not be removed from the parents; rather, they should be together during this period. The nurse should place the naked baby between the mother's breasts (skin-to-skin contact) and have the mother assume the en face position with her newborn, in which their heads align as they look at each other.
