Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a newborn immediately following birth. For which of the following reasons should the nurse delay the instillation of antibiotic ophthalmic ointment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D:
To facilitate bonding between the newborn and parent. Applying the ointment immediately after birth may interfere with the crucial bonding process between the newborn and the parent. It is important for the parent to have uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact and establish a strong emotional connection with the newborn during the first moments after birth. This bonding time is essential for the newborn's emotional well-being and can have long-lasting positive effects on their development. Delaying the instillation of the ointment allows for this important bonding process to occur naturally.
Choice A is incorrect because early identification of infection is crucial and should not be delayed.
Choice B is unrelated to the instillation of ointment.
Choice C is also unrelated, as the mode of delivery does not affect the timing of ointment instillation.
