Question 1 of 5
Nurse educator conducting parenting class for new parents. Which statement made by participant indicates need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Once my baby can sit up, he should be safe in the bathtub." This statement indicates a need for further teaching because infants can easily slip and drown in even a few inches of water, so they should never be left unattended in the bathtub even when they can sit up. This statement overlooks the importance of constant supervision during bath time.

A: Starting swimming lessons when the baby can close her mouth under water is not recommended for infants.
C: Testing the water temperature before placing the baby in the bath is a good practice.
D: Removing the mobile from over the bed once the infant starts to push up is a safety measure to prevent accidents.
