Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a newborn who has myelomeningocele. Which of the following nursing goals has the priority in the care of this infant?
Correct Answer: B

Protecting the sac from infection and damage is crucial to prevent complications like meningitis. Promoting maternal-infant bonding (
A) and providing stimulation (
C) are important but secondary to ensuring the sac's integrity. Educating parents (
