Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. After the onset of stranger anxiety, incorporating the caregiver into the health care procedures reduces the infant's discomfort. Whenever the nurse needs to hold or give an infant care, caregivers should be involved. If this is not possible, the nurse should hold the infant so the caregiver is in view.
B Incorrect. Holding the baby so he or she cannot see the caregiver is the exact opposite of the expected and best action.
C Incorrect. Keeping the caregiver away so the baby will not fuss is the exact opposite of the expected and best action.
D Incorrect. Feeding the baby is appropriate prior to the development of stranger anxiety, but is the exact opposite of the expected and best action after the development of stranger anxiety.

D Incorrect. Bicycle accidents involving automobiles hitting bicycles can cause spinal cord injuries, but it is not the major cause.
