Six family members of a healthy newborn arrive on the unit demanding to see the infant. A new nurse assigned to the patient should do which of the following?
Explanation
• Due to the number of family members present at once, the new nurse should verify the unit policy on visitation before allowing everyone into the room.
• Incorrect: Asking the family to leave is not appropriate; they have not threatened anyone.
• Incorrect: Gown and mask are not required for visiting a healthy newborn.
