To promote infant security in the hospital, the nurse instructs the parents of a newborn to:
1. Keep the baby in the room at all times.
2. Check the identification of all personnel who transport the newborn.
3. Place a "No Visitors" sign on the door.
4. Keep the baby in the nursery at all times.
2
Rationale 1: Newborns need to return to the nursery at times.
Rationale 2: Practicing safety measures and providing information to parents are important steps to prevent infant abduction. Parents should be instructed to check identification of all personnel who transport the newborn.
Rationale 3: A "No Visitors" sign would not ensure safety.
Rationale 4: Newborns will need to return to the nursery at times, but the newborn is not required to be there at all times.
