A nurse is assisting in the care of clients on a postpartum unit. Which of the following events should the nurse identify as needing to initiate a security alert for?

A. A hospital volunteer leaves the unit with the newborn to allow caregiver to rest: Hospital volunteers are not authorized to transport newborns, especially off the unit. Removing a newborn without proper clinical authorization represents a significant security risk and requires immediate initiation of a security alert to prevent potential abduction. B. Another nurse on the unit requests to take the newborn to the nursery to obtain newborn screening: A licensed nurse transporting a newborn for required screening is an expected and appropriate practice. This follows standard hospital protocol and does not indicate a security concern when proper identification procedures are followed. C. An assistive personnel weighs and bathes the newborn in an empty client room: Assistive personnel may perform routine newborn care under facility policy and nursing delegation. While supervision and proper identification are required, this situation alone does not necessitate a security alert. D. The caregiver and newborn have matching hospital identification bracelets: Matching identification bands indicate that correct newborn identification procedures are in place. This supports infant safety and does not represent a situation requiring security intervention.
