CCRN Critical Care Nursing

Category - Neonatal

The nurse, realizing that the mother of a 2-month-old boy with colic needs help coping, suggests that she:
  1. Give her son a warm bath to calm him down
  2. Arrange for some time away from her son each day to rest
  3. Provide her son with warm sweetened tea when he begins to cry
  4. Sit comfortably in a quiet, darkened room to hold her son when he cries
Explanation
Answer: B - Peak crying times are early evening and night, which exhaust the mother. She needs time away from the baby to rest and should be encouraged to hire a sitter or make some arrangements for time alone.
