NCLEX Question for September 23rd

The nurse in labor and delivery provides care for a client who is Muslim and in active labor. The client's labor is long and difficult. Which cultural practice will the nurse expect after the birth?

The parents will pin an amulet with a blue stone to the neonate's clothing.

The mother will call out to the neonate by the name selected prior to birth.

The father will not engage in close contact with the neonate for one month.

The mother will ask the nurse about sterilization to avoid future pregnancies.

Correct!

Incorrect!

CORRECT - Since infant mortality is high in developing countries, protection of the neonate is important. The Muslim parents may pin an amulet with a blue stone to the neonate's clothing for protection.
Many cultures believe that certain behaviors should be avoided in order to protect the unborn baby. The Muslim culture avoids naming a child until after birth. The mother is not likely to call out to the neonate by the name selected prior to birth.
In the Muslim culture, it is common for the father, or other male family member, to whisper prayers into the neonate's ear to provide protection and declare faith. Therefore, the nurse would not expect a lack of close contact from the father to the neonate for one month after birth.
Some members of the Muslim culture may choose to use birth control. However, children are valued, and sterilization is seen as a permanent condition, which is not likely to be practiced.
