The nurse is talking to parents of a 6-month-old infant who will have a lumbar puncture to rule out ...

The nurse is talking to parents of a 6-month-old infant who will have a lumbar puncture to rule out meningitis. The mother tells the nurse that she refuses to leave the baby and that no one will touch her child unless she is there. Which is the nurse's BEST response to this mother?

▸ "We can't take the chance that you will faint during the procedure. We are here to care for your child, not you."

▸ "I realize that you are upset, but this is a sterile procedure and there is an increased chance your child will get an infection if you insist on staying in the room."

▸ "I know this must be stressful with your child so sick. Would you like to help hold her in the correct position or would you just like to talk quietly to her during the procedure?"

▸ "Our facility's policy is that no one can be in the room except for medical personnel. Besides, you don't want your baby to blame you for all of this."
