Response:
Asking about the mother's concerns is assessment and is the first thing the nurse should do. The mother has intimate knowledge of the infant and can provide invaluable information that can help structure the nurse's assessment. Relying on the physical assessment ignores the value of the mother's input. A screening questionnaire is no substitute for a developmental assessment. Minimizing the mother's concerns reduces communication between the mother and the nurse.
