Which statement by a parent indicates a need for the nurse to intervene with teaching?

a. I put my newborn baby on her back when she goes to sleep. I understand this is the best position.
b. Jennifer's eyes sometimes cross, but I know that this is normal in 1-month-old babies.
c. My 5-month-old infant has been drooling, biting, and running a fever for the past few days. I think he's teething.
d. My neighbor has been giving her baby solids since he was 8 weeks old. I think I'll wait until my baby is about 5 months old.

Question 2

As the nurse assists a newly discharged client and her infant to the waiting car, the nurse notes that the infant seat is in the front seat of the car facing the front and secured by the seat belt.

a. in an upright position.
b. at a 30-degree angle.
c. not secured by the seat belt.
d. in the back seat facing the rear of the car.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although drooling and biting are signs of teething, a fever should always be considered a sign of illness. A back position is the appropriate position for an infant to sleep. Eye crossing at this age is a normal deviation. Infants should not be started on solids until they are 5 months old.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A car seat in the back seat facing the rear of the car provides protection by keeping the infant from being hurled forward on impact. The car seat should be in the back seat, facing the rear of the car.
