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. Delaying the instillation of antibiotic ointment allows for immediate skin-to-skin contact and bonding between the newborn and parent, promoting attachment and emotional connection. This is a crucial aspect of postnatal care and has long-term benefits for the newborn's emotional and psychological development.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because delaying antibiotic ointment instillation for reasons such as identifying infection, low birth weight, or mode of delivery could potentially result in harm to the newborn by not providing immediate protection against eye infections, which can be serious and lead to vision impairment.
