"When the baby is returned to us from the nursery, we should check the baby's identification band."

Answer 1

b. "We will need to remove the baby's ankle identification band during diaper changes."

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement indicates that the nurse should further educate the expectant parents. The mother, newborn baby, and anyone significant are identified by plastic identification bands with permanent locks that must be cut to be removed. As per most hospitals' policies, newborn babies will be provided with both ankle and armband identification. These identification bands should not be cut for any reason until the newborn is released from the hospital. All other statements are true,
