A nurse is assisting with the care of a client.

Select the 3 findings that require immediate follow up

A. A hospital volunteer leaves the unit with the newborn to allow caregiver to rest: Hospital volunteers are not authorized to transport newborns, especially off the unit. Removing a newborn without proper clinical authorization represents a significant security risk and requires immediate initiation of a security alert to prevent potential abduction.

B. Another nurse on the unit requests to take the newborn to the nursery to obtain newborn screening: A licensed nurse transporting a newborn for required screening is an expected and appropriate practice. This follows standard hospital protocol and does not indicate a security concern when proper identification procedures are followed.

C. An assistive personnel weighs and bathes the newborn in an empty client room: Assistive personnel may perform routine newborn care under facility policy and nursing delegation. While supervision and proper identification are required, this situation alone does not necessitate a security alert.

D. The caregiver and newborn have matching hospital identification bracelets: Matching identification bands indicate that correct newborn identification procedures are in place. This supports infant safety and does not represent a situation requiring security intervention.

A. “I am so relieved the baby looks like my mother.”: Feeling relief or comfort when noticing family resemblance in the newborn is a common emotional response. It generally reflects normal adjustment and bonding with the baby and does not indicate emotional distress requiring further evaluation.

B. “My appetite has really increased.”: Increased appetite postpartum can be a normal physiological response, especially with breastfeeding, as the body requires additional calories. It does not usually indicate a mental health concern or a need for further evaluation.

C. “My labor was so long. I'm glad it's over.”: Expressing relief or fatigue after a prolonged labor is a typical postpartum response. It shows processing of the birth experience and adjustment to recovery and newborn care, which does not warrant immediate concern.

D. “I really wish I had a girl instead.”: Expressing regret or disappointment regarding the baby’s sex may indicate difficulty bonding, gender preference stress, or emerging postpartum mood disturbances. This statement warrants further assessment for postpartum depression, anxiety, or adjustment issues to ensure maternal-infant wellbeing.
