Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching the parent of a newborn about car seat use. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Position the newborn at a 45-degree angle in the car seat. This is important because newborns have limited neck strength and need to be positioned at a reclined angle to keep their airway open and prevent their head from flopping forward, reducing the risk of suffocation. Placing the newborn at a 45-degree angle also helps prevent slumping which can compromise their breathing.
A: Placing the shoulder harness straps below the newborn's armpits can lead to improper positioning and potential injury in case of a crash.
B: Keeping the car seat rear-facing until the newborn can sit unsupported is a general guideline but not specific to the proper angle of positioning.
C: Placing the retainer clip across the newborn's abdomen can cause abdominal injury in a crash and should be positioned at armpit level.
E, F, G: No additional choices provided.
