Explanation: Home visits by a nurse post-delivery typically focus on the well-being of the mother and the newborn, including checking the baby's weight (A), observing and providing guidance on breastfeeding (B), and ensuring the immediate environment is safe for the newborn. However, teaching the grandmother about the baby (C) might not be a primary focus unless specifically requested or needed. Checking for safety issues related to crawling (D) is premature for a 3-day-old infant, as crawling starts much later. Taking blood samples (E) is not a standard practice during home visits unless there's a specific medical concern that requires it.
