Which intervention will be most helpful to parents in identifying problems with an infant car seat?
a. Questioning the parents about the instructions
b. Asking the parents to demonstrate how to secure the infant in the car seat
c. Allowing the parents to ask questions and express feelings about infant restraint
d. Providing the parents with current laws on infant and child safety
B
If the nurse observes the parents demonstrating the use of the car seat, any problems or mi-sunderstandings can be identified.
Questioning the parents is not a helpful way to identify problems with a car seat; return demonstration is better.
Return demonstration is a better way to ensure that the parents understand car seat safety.
Providing information without a return demonstration will not prove that the parents are comfortable with the car seat for the infant.
