Question 1 of 5

A client has just delivered a large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infant by the vaginal route. The client verbalizes concern regarding the infant's facial bruising and causing pain to the site if touched. Which therapeutic statement should the nurse make to alleviate the client's concerns?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The mother of an LGA infant with facial bruising may be reluctant to interact with the infant because of concern about causing additional pain to the infant.
Touching the infant gently with the fingertips should be encouraged. The bruising is temporary. Option 2 does not address the mother's verbalized concerns. The LGA infant may have polycythemia, which can contribute to bruising, but the bruising is not actually caused by the polycythemia. Option 4 advises the mother not to touch the baby's face because the bruising is painful, but touch is an important component of the attachment process.
