    A nurse is reviewing the facility's safety protocols concerning newborn abduction with the parent of a newborn. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. “Staff will apply identification bands to my baby after her first bath.": Identification bands are applied immediately after birth to ensure proper identification and prevent abduction, not after the first bath. Waiting could increase safety risks. B. "I will not publish a public announcement about my baby's birth.": Limiting public announcements, such as on social media, reduces the risk of unwanted attention and potential abduction. This demonstrates understanding of newborn security measures. C. "I can remove my baby's identification band as long as she is in my room.": Identification bands must remain on the newborn at all times to maintain safety and prevent misidentification or abduction. Removing them is unsafe. D. "I can leave my baby in my room while I walk in the hallway.": Leaving a newborn unattended, even briefly, increases the risk of abduction and is against safety protocols. Constant supervision or staff assistance is required.
