A 48-year-old woman is postoperative day 2 following an abdominal hysterectomy on the medical-surgical unit. She became a first-time adoptive mother 6 weeks ago to a 4-month-old infant who is now smiling responsively, cooing, holding her head steady, and reaching for objects, milestones appropriate for age. The client tells the LPN, "I'm so overwhelmed. I never learned to read well in school, and I'm scared I'll mess up the feeding schedule once I go home." The LPN notes the client appears attentive and motivated to learn despite her admitted low literacy. Which action by the LPN best supports this client's transition to parenting?
- Perform a comprehensive developmental assessment of the infant and revise the discharge care plan independently.
- Reinforce that infants under 6 months should be given diluted formula to prevent overfeeding.
- Give her a printed pamphlet on newborn feeding schedules to read on her own before discharge.
- Use picture-based feeding charts and verbally walk through the schedule step by step with her.
