The nurse at a local hospital is conducting a safety workshop for expectant parents addressing newborn injury prevention and car seat safety. Which statement made by a parent indicates a need for further teaching?
A) "My newborn should be in a car safety seat every time he is in the car."
B) "It is good if I place a blanket over the baby and then buckle the baby onto the seat."
C) "My newborn should ride rear-facing until at least 1 year of age and more than 20 pounds."
D) "Never place a rear-facing car safety seat in the front seat with an active passenger air bag."
Answer: B
Never place blankets under the baby or under the belts. Buckle the baby into the seat, and place blankets over the baby. Therefore this is an incorrect statement and indicates a need for further instruction. The other statements are correct and indicate no need for further education.
