A new mother seemed hesitant to let the student nurse into her apartment. However, the visit seemed to go well, with the nurse sharing information, resources,
and positive support to the new mother. At the end of the visit, the mother thanked the student nurse profusely but said she thought she was all right now so there was no need for the student to return. What is the student's best choice for future visits?
A. Chart that the mother was noncompliant and would not let the student return.
B. Plan on returning in 1 week to answer any new questions the mother might have about her baby, how to care for him, or how infants grow and develop.
C. Stress how to get in touch with the public health agency if the mother ever has questions or needs assistance and then wish her the very best.
D. Try to find lots of free formula, baby cereal, infant clothes, and other goodies to give the new mother so she will let the student back into the apartment.
