Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allowing the parents to participate in the baby's care promotes bonding, provides hands-on experience, and helps with the transition to home. A, C, and D are not appropriate interventions for promoting family-centered care in the NICU. Referring to the baby using the last name instead of their first name can be depersonalizing and may cause the parents to feel disconnected from their baby. Withholding the baby's diagnosis can lead to mistrust between the parents and the healthcare team, and also delay necessary education or decision-making. Explaining to the parents that their baby cannot be held if intubated without providing alternative forms of parent-infant interaction can be distressing for the parents, and may also impede their attachment with the baby.
