Which intervention will be most helpful to parents in identifying problems with an infant car seat?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because observing the parents demonstrate the use of the car seat is the best way to identify any problems or misunderstandings. This allows for a hands-on assessment of their understanding. Questioning the parents may not reveal actual issues, providing laws does not ensure understanding, and allowing questions without a demonstration may not address potential errors. A return demonstration ensures comprehension and application of car seat safety.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Engorgement occurs when the breasts are not adequately emptied at each feeding or if feedings are not frequent enough. Breast milk moves through the stomach within 1.5 to 2 hours, therefore waiting 4 hours to feed is too long. Frequent feedings are important to empty the breast and establish lactation. Fluid intake should not be limited with a breastfeeding mother; that would decrease the amount of breast milk produced. Warm packs should be applied to the breast before feedings.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because recent studies have shown that breast milk is low in vitamin D, and supplementation with 400 IU is recommended. This is important for infants who are not exposed to the sun or have dark skin, as they are at risk for insufficient vitamin D. While a well-balanced diet is important for the mother's health, it does not address the need for vitamin D supplementation in breastfed infants. Asking about the mother's concerns or abilities does not provide the necessary information about vitamin D supplementation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because SGA infants are defined as below the tenth percentile in growth when compared with other infants of the same gestational age. SGA is not defined by weight. Infants born before 38 weeks are classified as preterm. There are many factors that contribute to the development of an SGA infant, not just placental malfunction.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Turning the infant every 2 hours can increase the effectiveness of phototherapy in reducing indirect bilirubin levels. This intervention helps expose all parts of the skin to the phototherapy. The other options either do not directly impact bilirubin reduction or may hinder the effectiveness of phototherapy.
