Answer:
A. Assessing the infant for signs of pneumonia
Explanation:
Chlamydia trachomatis is generally associated with the development of pneumonia in the newborn baby. Purulent conjunctivitis at this time suggests a Chlamydia infection, it is not an allergic response. Boric acid solution cannot be prescribed; a prescribed antibiotic is required. Teaching the mother to wash her hands before touching the infant is obvious; however, the important is assessing the infant for signs of pneumonia by nurse.
