No explanation
This is a common practice in healthcare settings and can provide comfort to the child during a difficult time. The PN should ensure that the stuffed toy is clean and does not pose a risk of infection to the child. It is not necessary to spray the toy with disinfectant or limit play with it when out of the tent. Asking the mother to wash the toy daily at home may be impractical and is not necessary if the toy is kept clean while in the hospital.
