A nurse in an obstetric clinic is caring for four clients. The nurse should identify that an intrauterine device is contraindicated for which of the following clients?

(A) "You should recognize that your baby sucking on his hands is a hunger cue.":
This statement is correct because babies often show early hunger cues such as sucking on their hands, rooting (turning their head towards the breast or bottle), or making sucking noises. Recognizing these early signs helps ensure that the baby is fed before they become too hungry and upset, making breastfeeding easier and more successful.

(B) "You should feed your baby for 10 minutes on each breast.":
This statement is not entirely accurate because the duration of feeding can vary widely among babies. Some babies may need more time to feed, while others may need less. It's important to allow the baby to feed until they show signs of being satisfied, such as slowing down their sucking or releasing the breast on their own.

(C) "You should feed your baby six times a day.":
Newborns typically need to be fed more frequently than six times a day, often every 2-3 hours, which can amount to 8-12 times in 24 hours. Feeding on demand, rather than following a strict schedule, ensures that the baby gets enough milk and supports the mother's milk supply.

(D) "You should wake your baby at least every 6 hours at night for feedings.":
This statement is not recommended because newborns, especially in the first few weeks, usually need to be fed more frequently than every 6 hours, even at night. It's generally advised to wake the baby for feedings every 3-4 hours if they do not wake up on their own to ensure they receive enough nutrition and maintain adequate growth and hydration

(A) "You should check the identity of individuals who come to remove your baby from the room":
It's crucial for parents to verify the identity of anyone who comes to take their baby out of the room. This helps ensure the baby's safety and prevents unauthorized individuals from taking the baby. Hospital staff usually wear identification badges, and parents should be encouraged to ask for and verify this identification.

(B) "We will scan your baby's identification bracelet each time check on him":
While scanning the baby's identification bracelet might be part of some hospital protocols for specific purposes like medication administration or matching mother and baby during certain procedures, it is not typically done every time a nurse checks on the baby. Continuous scanning is not a standard practice and would be logistically impractical.

(C) "We will match the bracelet on your baby with his footprint record each shift":
Matching the baby's bracelet with footprint records each shift is not a standard safety protocol. Footprints are usually taken at birth for records but are not routinely matched every shift. Identification is more reliably ensured through the use of identification bands worn by both the mother and the baby.

(D) "Your baby will wear an electronic bracelet when he is out of your room":
In many hospitals, electronic bracelets are used as a security measure, but they are typically worn by the baby at all times, not just when the baby is out of the room. This measure helps prevent abduction and ensures the baby's location is monitored continuously.
