Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about car seat safety to the parent of a term newborn. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: I should place my baby's car seat rear-facing until 6 months of age. This statement indicates an understanding of the teaching because it aligns with current safety recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which advises rear-facing until at least 2 years old or until the child reaches the maximum height or weight limit of the car seat. Placing the car seat rear-facing provides better protection for the baby's head, neck, and spine in the event of a crash.
Choice A is incorrect because placing rolled blankets along the baby's head can be a suffocation hazard.
Choice C is incorrect because the retainer clip should be positioned at the armpit level to ensure proper restraint.
Choice D is incorrect because car seats should be reclined at the manufacturer's recommended angle, usually around 45 degrees, not at a 90-degree angle which is too upright and unsafe.
