Choose (at least) two of your peers who have argued the other side of the debate from your own. Craft a response commenting on the interprofessional collaboration that should increase the safety of care in the situation.

For this discussion post, you will be assigned one side of the debate regarding rooming-in practices compared to the risk for newborn falls based on the first initial of your last name.

If the first initial of your last name begins with A-L, formulate an argument that states that the benefits of rooming-in outweigh the risk for newborn falls.

If the first initial of your last name begins with M-Z, compose an argument proposing that the risk of newborn falls outweighs the benefits of rooming-in after birth.

Please cite at least one source to support your argument. Some possible sources appear below:
