Question 2 of 5
The parent of a 2-week-old infant, exclusively breastfed, asks the nurse if fluoride supplements are needed. What is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse's best response to the parent of a 2-week-old infant, exclusively breastfed, regarding the need for fluoride supplements is that they are not needed if the infant is already drinking fluoridated water. Fluoride supplements are typically recommended for infants who are not receiving enough fluoride through their water source. Breast milk itself does not contain a significant amount of fluoride, but if the family's water supply is fluoridated, the infant will likely receive an adequate amount of fluoride without the need for supplements. It is important for the parent to verify the fluoride content of their water supply with their local water utility to ensure the infant is receiving the appropriate amount of fluoride for dental health.

Rapid and shallow breathing could be a sign of worsening lung function or complications such as pneumonia, which require immediate attention to ensure adequate oxygenation and prevent further deterioration. Monitoring and addressing the patient's respiratory status are crucial in preventing respiratory failure and other serious complications.
