To prevent the kidnapping of newborns from the hospital, the nurse should:
a. Instruct the mother not to give her infant to anyone except the one nurse assigned to her that day.
b. Question anyone who is seen walking in the hallways carrying an infant.
c. Allow no visitors in the maternity area except those who have identification bracelets.
d. Restrict the amount of time infants are out of the nursery.
B
Infants should be transported in the hallways only in their cribs.
It is impossible for one nurse to be on call for one mother and baby for the entire shift, so the parents need to be able to identify the nurses who are working on the unit.
This will be difficult to monitor and will limit the mother's support system from visiting.
Infants need to spend time with the parents to facilitate the bonding process.
