Parents of a newborn ask the nurse why their newborn's head seems lopsided and not round, as they thought it should be. How should the nurse respond to these parents?
 
  1. I don't think it looks unusual; actually the head is beautifully shaped.
  2. Your baby's head had to shape itself to the birth canal. It will look round in a few days.
  3. You're right. We'll make sure your doctor checks this out.
  4. Babies' heads always look funny. Once his hair grows out, you'll hardly notice it.

Question 2

The parents of a newborn ask what their baby can see. What should the nurse respond to these parents?
 
  1. Babies aren't able to see until they are around 4 months old.
  2. Babies won't track moving objects until about 5 months.
  3. Newborns blink in response to bright lights and sound and will follow large objects.
  4. Newborns aren't able to focus, so everything looks blurry to them.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: This option dismisses the parents' concerns.
Rationale 2: Molding of the head is made possible by the fontanels and occurs during vaginal deliveries as the head comes through the birth canal. Within a week, the newborn's head usually regains its symmetry. It is normal with vaginal deliveries. Babies born via cesarean section do not experience molding. Molding is not permanenta fact that makes parents feel more reassured.
Rationale 3: This condition is not abnormal and does not need to be referred to the doctor; rather, the nurse needs to reassure the parents that nothing is wrong.
Rationale 4: This option is not necessarily true, nor does it adequately address the parents' concerns.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: This is not necessarily correct information because we don't know what they see or how it looks to them.
Rationale 2: At 5 months, the infant reaches for objects, but starts tracking them much sooner.
Rationale 3: Newborns can follow large, moving objects and blink in response to bright lights and sound. Their pupils respond slowly, and the eyes cannot focus on close objects. We don't know what they see or how it looks to them.
Rationale 4: We don't know what newborns see or how it looks to them.
