A patient who just delivered a newborn baby is concerned that the baby will “catch” a cold from one healthcare provider who was coughing and sneezing in the delivery room. With which of the following should the nurse respond to this patient?
1. “The baby will have some protection from infections from the time of birth.”
2. “The baby should be isolated.”
3. “I will be sure to have everyone check the baby’s temperature for signs of an infection.”
4. “The healthcare provider should not have been participating in your care.”

1 -- Immunoglobulin G is the only immunoglobulin to cross the placental barrier and provide immune protection to the neonate. The nurse should respond that the baby will have some protection from infections from the time of birth. The baby does not need to be isolated. The baby’s temperature will be checked routinely and evaluated for signs of infection. The response that the healthcare provider should not have been participating in the patient’s care is an inappropriate response for the nurse to make.
