Answer to Question 1
A
After immediate physical evaluation and application of identification bracelets, the nurse promotes the parents' and newborn's need for close physical contact. Early parent-child interaction encourages parent-child attachment. Most healthy newborns are awake and alert for the first half-hour after birth. This is a good time for parent-child interaction to begin. No evidence in the question stem suggests that the baby cannot be left alone with the parents during the first 8 hours, or that the baby should remain in the nursery during the first hour.
Answer to Question 2
D
In the five-step nursing process, the evaluation phase is the final step involving conducting evaluative measures to determine whether nursing interventions have been effective and whether the patient has met expected outcomes. Assessment, the first step of the process, includes data collection, validation, sorting, and documentation. Planning, the third step of the process, involves setting priorities, identifying patient goals and outcomes, and prescribing nursing interventions. During implementation, nurses initiate nursing care, which is necessary to help patients achieve their goals.
