The nurse is teaching new parents how to bathe their infants through demonstration. Which of the following teaching points would the nurse include?
A) "Be sure to bathe your child every day and wash the diaper area between bathings."
B) "Concentrate on bathing the baby, not talking to the baby or playing games."
C) "Cleanse eyes first with two cotton balls and clear water, cleansing from inner to outer canthus."
D) "Use baby oil on skin that is irritated from diaper rash."
C
Feedback:
The parent should cleanse the eyes first with clear water from the inner to outer canthus using a separate cotton ball for each eye, then wash the rest of the baby's face. The time should be used to talk to the infant and have a pleasant experience. The baby does not need to be bathed every day and baby oil should not be used on diaper rash because it may clog the pores.
