Feedback
1. Cloth tape measures can stretch over time and yield an inaccurate measure of the infant's head.
2. An electronic measure is not realistic for use with infants.
3. The nurse should use a paper tape measure because paper tape is more sanitary and can be discarded after each use.
4. A metal tape measure will not conform to the infant's head to yield an accurate measurement.
