The nurse is teaching a parenting class for pregnant couples who will deliver soon. Which statement by a mother-to-be indicates that additional information is needed?

Question

1. "Baby girls sometimes have a little bloody mucus in their diapers as a reaction to the high estrogen level in the mother."
2. "Genitals of babies look swollen and enlarged at birth as a result of the hormones in the mother's circulation."
3. "We can call the nurse help line any time of day or night if we have questions about our baby after we get home."
4. "Car seats are installed the same way in different models of cars. Our friends can show us how to install it."

Answer 1

Rationale 1: This is a true statement. Parents might believe there is something wrong if they are not taught about pseudomenstruation.
Rationale 2: This is a true statement, and is often a concern of parents.
Rationale 3: Most pediatrician offices, HMOs, hospitals, and physician groups have a nurse line staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to respond to parents' questions and concerns. When this service exists, parents should be made aware of it and provided with the phone number.
Rationale 4: Each model of car seat is installed differently in different makes of car. Directions for car seats should be followed carefully. Car dealerships often offer a car seat-installation instruction service. Using a car seat that is installed incorrectly can be more dangerous than not using a car seat at all.
