The nurse discharges the mother and baby and escorts them to the car, which was brought around by the father. The nurse finds they do not have a car seat, and informs the parents:
1. The mother should sit in the back seat while holding the infant until a car seat is purchased.
2. The father must purchase a car seat before the mother and infant can be discharged.
3. A car seat can be rented or purchased but must be in the car before the infant is discharged.
4. They should use a car seat to protect the baby, but it is their decision to make.
3
Rationale: The infant may not be discharged without placing it in a car seat, so the family can purchase or rent a car seat, and some hospitals provide a loaner car seat. The mother is free to leave.
