Parents of an infant born at 36 weeks' gestation ask the nurse, "Will our infant need a car seat trial before being discharged?" What is the nurse's best response?
a. "Yes, to see if the car seat is the appropriate size."
b. "Yes, to determine if blanket rolls will be needed."
c. "No, your infant was old enough at birth to not need a trial."
d. "Yes, to monitor for possible apnea and bradycardia while in the seat."
ANS: D
It is recommended that infants younger than 37 weeks of gestation have a period of observation in an appropriate car seat to monitor for possible apnea and bradycardia. The trial is not done to check the size of the car seat or to determine if blanket rolls will be needed. The infant was born at 36 weeks of gestation, so it is recommended to perform a car sear trial.
