The nurse is not familiar with the cultural background of new parents who have recently immigrated to the United States. What statement is best?
 
  1. You appear to be Muslim. Do you want your son to be circumcised?

  3. Your baby is a U.S. citizen. You must be very happy about that.
  4. Could you explain what your preferences are regarding child care?

Question 2

The nurse is discussing parentinfant attachment with a prenatal class. Which statement indicates that teaching was successful?
 
  1. Giving the baby his first bath can really give me a chance to get to know him.
  2. Newborns cannot focus their eyes, so it does not matter how I hold my new baby.
  3. My baby will be very sleepy immediately after birth, so he can go to the nursery.
  4. I should avoid looking directly into the baby's eyes to prevent frightening the baby.

Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation:
1. Avoid making assumptions about clients based on appearance. It is much better to respectfully ask questions regarding preferences and practices.
2. The nurse should not assume the family does not understand the U.S. healthcare system. It is much better to respectfully ask questions regarding preferences and practices.
3. This is an assumption often based on the false idea that people from other countries only come to have their babies in the United States so they will be citizens and therefore eligible for federal aid. It is much better to respectfully ask questions regarding preferences and practices.
4. Sensitive, nonjudgmental exploration of the family's cultural beliefs regarding newborn care allows the nurse to gain valuable knowledge that will be applied when planning culturally competent care.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation:
1. When parents give the first bath with the nurse, the nurse can point out behaviors and characteristics that help the parents understand their infant as unique and can model ways to respond to the baby's behavior.
2. Newborns can focus at a distance of 78 inches, the distance from a baby being held to the parent's face. Eye contact is an important aspect of parentinfant attachment and should be promoted, especially in the immediate time after birth.
3. Babies are usually wide awake and alert and responsive in the first few hours after birth. Interacting with the newborn during this first period of reactivity facilitates parentinfant attachment.
4. Eye contact is an important aspect of parentinfant attachment and should be promoted, especially in the immediate time after birth.
