A licensed practical/vocational nurse is caring for a mother and newborn boy at a hospital. The mother and father stated they will not name the child until the boy is 8 days old.
 
  The couple wants their Rabbi to perform the circumcision. The hospital's policy demands that the birth certificate is filed with the state birth registry. What action should the nurse take?
  A) Respect the rights of the parents and the inform the couple that they can complete a supplemental name report after the couple has met with the Rabbi and decided upon a name and send it to the state birth registry
  B) Ask the couple to provide a name for the baby before they leave the hospital so that the birth certificate may be registered
  C) Ask the couple to talk with their Rabbi and find out what the name will be, so the birth certificate may be filed with the state birth registry
  D) Respect the rights of the couple and give them all of the paperwork to file on their own whenever they have chosen a name

Ans: A
Feedback:
It is important to respect the cultural and religious rights of the clients and their family. The nurse should register the live birth with the state according to hospital policy, but the couple may file a supplemental name report, which they may send directly to the state birth registry to update the birth certificate. The state registry will have vital information of the date, time of the live birth, gender of the infant, race, birth weight and height, and names of parents and their addresses, etc. Answers B and C do not respect the couple's religious beliefs as to the process that the infant son receives his name. Answer D is incorrect because it is against hospital and state birth registry policy.
