The parents of a newborn ask what their baby can see. What should the nurse respond to these parents?
1. "Babies aren't able to see until they are around 4 months old."
2. "Babies won't track moving objects until about 5 months."
3. "Newborns blink in response to bright lights and sound and will follow large objects."
4. "Newborns aren't able to focus, so everything looks blurry to them."
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: This is not necessarily correct information because we don't know what they "see" or how it looks to them.
Rationale 2: At 5 months, the infant reaches for objects, but starts tracking them much sooner.
Rationale 3: Newborns can follow large, moving objects and blink in response to bright lights and sound. Their pupils respond slowly, and the eyes cannot focus on close objects. We don't know what they "see" or how it looks to them.
Rationale 4: We don't know what newborns "see" or how it looks to them.
