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.

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.
