Question 1 of 5
A nurse working in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) teaches handwashing techniques to the parents of an infant who is receiving antibiotic treatment for a neonatal infection. The nurse determines that the parents understand the primary purpose of hand washing if which statement is made?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Appropriate hand washing by staff and parents has been effective for the prevention of nosocomial infections in nursery units. This action also promotes parents taking an active part in the care of their infant. Reducing fears and encouraging communication are not the primary reasons to perform hand washing. Because the infant already has an infection and is in the NICU, transference to siblings is not the best choice.
