A parent says to a nurse, "How do you know when my baby needs these screening tests the doctor just mentioned?" Which response should the nurse make to the parent?
1. "Screening tests are administered at the ages when a child is most likely to develop a condition."
2. "Screening tests are done in the newborn nursery, and from these results, additional screening tests are ordered throughout the first two years of life."
3. "Screening tests are most often done when the doctor suspects something is wrong with the child."
4. "Screening tests are done at each office visit."

Rationale:
1. "Screening tests are administered at ages when a child is most likely to develop a condition" provides a definition for screening tests.
2. This provides incorrect information to the parent. Abnormal newborn screening tests require immediate follow-up.
3. This provides incorrect information to the parent. Screening tests are done to detect the possibility of problems, and are not done when a problem is suspected.
4. This provides incorrect information to the parent. Screening tests are not done at each office visit.
