Which information from the parent of an 8-month-old infant will cause the nurse to intervene?
a. My baby rides in the front-facing car seat when I go to the grocery store.
b. I made sure the slats on the crib were less than 2 inches apart.
c. I removed the mobile after my baby could reach it.
d. My baby cries every time he sees a new person.
ANS: A
The nurse should intervene when parents let infants and toddlers ride in a front-facing car seat. All infants and toddlers should ride in a rear-facing car safety seat until they are 2 years of age or until they reach the highest weight or height allowed by the manufacturer or their car safety seat. Parents also need to inspect an older crib to make sure the slats are no more than 6 cm (2.4 inches) apart. Instruct parents to remove mobiles as soon as the infant is able to reach them. By 8 months, most infants are able to differentiate a stranger from a familiar person and respond differently to the two; this is a normal finding.
