A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a newborn about security procedures. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

A. "You should verify the identity of anyone who wants to remove your baby from the room.": Parents should confirm the identity and role of anyone attempting to take the newborn to prevent abduction or misidentification. Verifying identification badges and following hospital protocols for infant security is a critical safety measure in the maternal-newborn unit. B. "You can leave your baby in your room while you walk in the hallway.": Newborns should never be left unattended, even briefly, due to the risk of falls, accidental injury, or abduction. Continuous supervision by a parent or staff member is required at all times. C. "Your baby should have one identification band on either their right arm or right leg.": Standard newborn safety procedures require two identification bands—one on the wrist and one on the ankle—to ensure correct identification. A single band is insufficient for reliable infant security. D. "You can leave the unit with your baby as long as you notify the nurse.": Leaving the unit with a newborn without following strict security protocols, including escort and verification, is prohibited. Unauthorized movement of the infant could compromise safety and breach hospital security policies.
