Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant who has a cleft palate and is having trouble bottle feeding. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A one-way flow valve bottle controls milk flow, aiding infants with cleft palate. Narrow nipples, frequent burping, or football hold are less specific to feeding challenges.
