Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Safety measures to be taught to new mothers should include (1) not leaving the newborn alone in the crib while taking a shower or using the bathroom; rather, they should ask to have the newborn observed by a health care worker if a family member is not present in the room; (2) not relinquishing the newborn to anyone without identification; and (3) using a password system with the staff when the newborn is taken from the room as a routine security measure. The newborn should not be left alone while the mother is showering, even if the door is left open. It is recommended to not publish the birth announcement in the newspaper.
