Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A The home visit is ideally scheduled during the first 24 to 72 hours after
discharge. This timing allows early assessment and intervention for problems
with feedings, jaundice, newborn adaptation, and maternal-infant interaction.
B Because home visits are expensive, they are not available in all geographic areas.
C Visits are usually 60 to 90 minutes in length to allow enough time for assessment
and teaching.
D When jaundice is found, the nurse can discuss the implications and check the
transcutaneous bilirubin level or draw blood for testing.
