A nurse is providing comfort measures to a newborn during an assessment.

What non-pharmacological interventions can the nurse use to soothe the newborn?



Correct Answer: ["A","B","C","E"]

Swaddling, pacifiers, gentle touch and music therapy are all non-pharmacological interventions that can help soothe a newborn during an assessment.

These methods can provide comfort, security, distraction and stimulation for the newborn.

Choice D is wrong because glucose water is a pharmacological intervention that can be used to reduce pain during procedures such as heel sticks or circumcision. Glucose water should not be given routinely to newborns as it can interfere with breastfeeding and cause electrolyte imbalances.
