Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a fussy 2-month-old infant who is postoperative following surgical repair of a cleft lip. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Correct answer: C. Encourage the parents to hold and comfort the infant.
Rationale: The correct action is to encourage parental bonding and comfort as it promotes emotional support, reduces stress, and aids in infant soothing. Parental presence enhances the infant's sense of security and helps in pain management through the release of comforting hormones.
Incorrect choices:
A: Positioning the infant on its abdomen is not recommended postoperatively as it can cause discomfort and hinder healing.
B: Offering a pacifier may not address the infant's need for comfort and may not be appropriate immediately postoperatively.
D: Administering Ibuprofen for pain should be done following the healthcare provider's orders and is not the initial action for comforting a fussy infant postoperatively.
