Perinatal Loss Nursing Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
How can the nurse caring for a patient with a neonatal loss practice self-care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because debriefing with the manager and colleagues can provide emotional support, validation, and coping strategies for the nurse. It helps process and normalize feelings, reducing the risk of burnout or compassion fatigue. Refraining from discussing feelings (A) can lead to isolation and emotional suppression. Understanding depression after a loss (B) is important, but it is not a proactive self-care strategy. Taking off work (C) may provide temporary relief but doesn't address the emotional needs or provide long-term coping mechanisms.

It fosters open communication within the family, promoting healing. Incorrect choices: A: Discouraging discussion can lead to emotional suppression and hinder the grieving process. B: Delaying honesty may cause confusion and distrust when the truth is eventually revealed.
