Benefits of immediate skin to skin contact include (Select all that apply):

Choice A: Do not use even soft lullaby music or cuddler therapy for this neonate as it will increase stimuli is not a correct option, as it contradicts the evidence-based practice of providing a calm and quiet environment for the neonate with neonatal abstinence syndromE. Music and cuddler therapy can help soothe the neonate and reduce the need for pharmacological agents.

Choice B: Use only pharmacological agents for withdrawal is not a correct option, as it ignores the non-pharmacological interventions that can help the neonate with neonatal abstinence syndromE. Non-pharmacological interventions include swaddling, breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact, and rooming-in with the mother.

Choice C: Keep the baby and mother together, promoting bonding and providing support and resources for discharge is the correct option, as it supports the family-centered care and the recovery of the mother and the neonate with neonatal abstinence syndromE. Keeping the baby and mother together can improve the maternal-infant attachment, facilitate breastfeeding, and reduce the length of hospital stay and the need for pharmacological agents.

Choice D: Separate the baby from the mother and tell the social worker to contact child protection services is not a correct option, as it violates the ethical and legal principles of nursing practice and the rights of the mother and the neonate with neonatal abstinence syndromE. Separating the baby from the mother can increase the stress and anxiety of both parties and interfere with the bonding and breastfeedinG. The nurse should collaborate with the social worker and other health care professionals to provide a safe and supportive environment for the mother and the neonatE.

Choice A: Massaging a firm fundus is not necessary, as it indicates that the uterus is contracting well and preventing excessive bleedinG. Massaging a firm fundus may cause discomfort and increase the risk of infection.

Choice B: Determining whether the fundus is midline is an important action, as it indicates that the uterus is in the correct position and not displaced by a full bladder or hematomA. A deviated fundus may cause uterine atony and hemorrhagE.

Choice C: Observing the lochia during palpation of fundus is an important action, as it indicates the amount and type of vaginal discharge after delivery. The nurse should assess the color, odor, consistency, and quantity of lochia and report any abnormal findings.

Choice D: Documenting fundal height is an important action, as it indicates the involution of the uterus after delivery. The nurse should measure the distance from the symphysis pubis to the top of the fundus in centimeters and compare it with the expected findings.

Choice E: Administering terbutaline if the fundus is boggy is not an appropriate action, as terbutaline is a tocolytic agent that relaxes the uterine muscles and may worsen the bleedinG. The nurse should massage a boggy fundus until it becomes firm and notify the provider.
