Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Minimize the infant's environmental stimuli. This instruction is crucial for promoting infant sleep hygiene and reducing overstimulation.

By minimizing environmental stimuli, the infant is more likely to achieve restful sleep, which is essential for their growth and development.

Choice B (Allow the infant to sleep through night feedings) is not recommended as infants often need to be fed during the night for proper nourishment and growth.
Choice D (Bathe the infant every day) is not necessary and can actually dry out the infant's skin, leading to irritation.
