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.

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.
