Which nursing action would be appropriate to include in a nursing care plan that reflects anticipated client needs in the "taking-hold" phase?
a. Ask dad to feed infant while mom is in the shower.
b. Encourage participation in diaper changes and circumcision care.
c. Keep room lights off to allow for adequate rest.
d. Return infant to nursery during the 11 to 7 shift.
B
Because in "taking-hold" the mother is interested in participating in the neonate's care, encouraging participation in diaper changes and circumcision care would be an appropriate nursing action. Asking dad to feed infant while mom is in the shower will not assist the mother with taking hold. Keeping room lights off to allow for adequate rest and returning infant to nursery during the 11 to 7 shift would be more appropriate for the "taking-in" phase.
