The nurse is educating a first-time mother who has a 1-week-old boy. Which of the following is the most accurate anticipatory guidance?
A) Describing the effect of neonatal teeth on breastfeeding
B) Explaining that the stomach holds less than 1 ounce
C) Informing that fontanels will close by 6 months
D) Telling that the step reflex persists until the child walks
B
Feedback:
Explaining that the child's stomach holds less than 1 ounce gives the mother a reason for frequent, small feedings and is the most helpful and accurate anticipatory guidance. Telling that the step reflex persists until the child walks and informing that fontanels will close by 6 months are inaccurate. The step reflex disappears at about 2 months and fontanels close between 12 and 18 months. Neonatal teeth are highly unusual and need no explanation unless they occur.
