The nurse identifies that which infant is at the highest risk of infection?

Choice A rationale

Closed loop communication is essential in critical situations as it ensures that information is accurately sent, received, and confirmed, reducing errors by allowing team members to verify directives and actions.

Choice B rationale

Open-ended communication methods are prone to misinterpretations and delays in critical situations, making them unsuitable for ensuring precision and immediate understanding, as required in urgent medical scenarios.

Choice A rationale

Denying parents the ability to hold their infant can interfere with bonding. Physiologically stable infants on oxygen benefit from being held, as it supports emotional well-being and parent-infant attachment without compromising oxygen delivery.

Choice B rationale

Holding a physiologically stable infant during gavage feeding fosters bonding, reduces parental anxiety, and stabilizes the infant's physiological parameters, as tactile stimulation aids neurodevelopment without causing stress to the infant's cardiorespiratory system.

Choice C rationale

Handholding alone is insufficient to support bonding and emotional connection. Physiologically stable infants benefit from full body contact during feeding to promote warmth, comfort, and the release of calming hormones like oxytocin.

Choice D rationale

Physiologically stable infants do not experience increased stress during feeding when held. Holding provides comfort and reduces stress, improving the feeding experience and supporting parent-infant bonding and attachment.
