A nurse in a provider's office is reinforcing teaching with a client who is pregnant and is scheduled for a nonstress test. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

Choice A is incorrect because security tags are a vital part of hospital security protocols to prevent newborn abduction, and they should be worn at all times, even when the baby is in the room with the parent.

Choice B is incorrect as while it is important to have a list of authorized individuals, it does not directly prevent abduction; the staff still needs to verify each person's identity before allowing them to take the baby.

Choice C is correct because it demonstrates the client's understanding that all hospital staff should have proper identification, especially when they are involved in newborn care, which is a critical security measure.

Choice D is incorrect because having only one identification band is insufficient; multiple forms of identification for both the parent and the newborn are necessary to ensure the baby's safety and prevent any mix-up or abduction.

A: Administering the medication into the deltoid muscle is not recommended for newborns due to their underdeveloped muscle mass and the potential for injury. The vastus lateralis muscle in the thigh is the preferred site for intramuscular injections in infants.

B: Checking the mother's Rh factor is not directly related to the administration of phytonadione, which is given to prevent vitamin K deficiency bleeding in the newborn, a condition unrelated to the mother's Rh factor.

C: Administering the medication 12 hours after birth is not the standard practice. Phytonadione is typically given within the first hour after birth to ensure prompt prevention of hemorrhagic disease of the newborn.

D: Administering the medication with a 25 gauge needle is appropriate as it is small enough to cause minimal discomfort and large enough to ensure proper delivery of the medication into the infant's muscle tissue.
