Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 3. The nurse can describe plagiocephaly as a flattened area on the head and can recommend that parents alternate their infant's head position between the right and the left side when placing the infant supine for sleep. Placing the infant's head at alternate ends of the crib every few days is helpful as well.
