Question 1 of 5
The nurse is planning care for an infant with a diagnosis of an encephalocele located in the occipital area. Which item should the nurse use to assist with positioning the child to avoid pressure on the encephalocele?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The infant is positioned to avoid pressure on the lesion. If the encephalocele is in the occipital area, a foam half donut may be useful for positioning to prevent this pressure. A sandbag, sheepskin, or feather pillow will not protect the encephalocele from pressure.
