To promote bonding and attachment immediately after delivery, the nurse should:
a. Allow the mother quiet time with her infant.
b. Assist the mother in assuming an en face position with her newborn.
c. Teach the mother about the concepts of bonding and attachment.
d. Assist the mother in feeding her baby.
B
Assisting the mother in assuming an en face position with her newborn will support the bonding process.
The mother should be given as much privacy as possible; however, nursing assessments must still be continued during this critical time.
The mother has just delivered and is more focused on the infant; she will not be receptive to teaching at this time.
This is a good time to initiate breast-feeding, but first the mother needs time to explore the new infant and begin the bonding process.
