The nurse is teaching young parents on the proper techniques for feeding infants and young children who are bottle-fed

The nurse should instruct the parents to feed the children in an upright position in order to prevent which of the following? 1. Sinus infection
2. Choking
3. Aspiration
4. Otitis media


4. Otitis media

Rationale:
Infants and small children who are bottle-fed in a supine position have a greater probability of developing otitis media because the eustachian tube opens when the child sucks, and the horizontal angle provides easy access to the middle ear. Children are not prone to sinus infection at that age. Choking results from holes in bottle nipples that are too big. Aspiration is caused by feeding too much too fast.
