Rationale: The correct answer is D -
To facilitate bonding between the newborn and parent. Instillation of antibiotic ointment can interfere with the bonding process between the newborn and parent, as it may create a barrier between them. Bonding is crucial for establishing a strong emotional connection and attachment between the newborn and parent, which is important for the newborn's overall well-being. Delaying the instillation allows for uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact and bonding.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because delaying antibiotic ointment instillation does not affect the identification of infection manifestations, the newborn's weight, or the mode of delivery.
