A nurse is observing an adolescent client who is oﬀering her newborn a botle while he is lying in the bassinet. When the nurse oﬀers to pick the newborn up and place him in the client’s arms, the mother states, “No, the baby is too tired to be held.”

Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Oﬀer to take the newborn to the nursery to finish his feeding

Insist that the mother pick up the newborn to feed him

Demonstrate how to hold the newborn and allow the client to practice

Persuade the client to breastfeed the newborn to promote bonding

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

This option respects the mother's wishes of not wanting to hold the newborn while also allowing the nurse to provide education on safe and appropriate feeding positions. It also gives the mother the opportunity to learn and practice holding the newborn in a safe way.

Option a, oﬀering to take the newborn to the nursery, may not be necessary as the mother is already oﬀering the baby a botle.

Option b, insisting that the mother pick up the newborn, would not be respectful of her wishes and could potentially damage the trust and rapport between the mother and nurse.

Option d, persuading the client to breastfeed, may not be appropriate or feasible in this situation as it may not be the mother's preferred feeding method and may not address the immediate concern of the newborn being too tired to be held.
