A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a new mother about facility security measures. Which of the following statements by the mother indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. Carrying the baby to the nursery is incorrect. Most facilities require that newborns be transported in a bassinet, not carried, to reduce the risk of accidental drops or abductions. B. Having an identification band that matches the baby’s band is correct. Hospital security protocols require that the mother and baby wear matching identification bands to ensure the right baby is with the right parent and prevent infant abduction or misidentification. C. Removing the security band to give to a family member is incorrect. The security band must remain on the mother at all times to verify identity when interacting with the baby. Removing it can compromise security. D. Taking the baby to the lobby to visit family is incorrect. Many hospitals have strict policies requiring newborns to remain in designated areas for security and infection control reasons. Visitors should come to the mother’s room instead.
