A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a group of expectant parents regarding the proper use of a car seat. Which of the following statements by a parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
"I will secure the seatbelt across my newborn's lap."
"I can move my child to a booster seat when she weighs 20 pounds."
"I will turn the car seat forward-facing when my child is 10 months old."
"I can place a rolled towel on each side of my newborn's head until he can hold his head up."
The Correct Answer is D
The statement by the parent that they can place a rolled towel on each side of their newborn's head until he can hold his head up indicates an understanding of the teaching. This is a safe and appropriate way to provide support for the newborn's head while in a car seat.
a) Securing the seatbelt across the newborn's lap is not safe. The seatbelt should be positioned across the newborn's chest and over their hips.
b) Moving a child to a booster seat when they weigh 20 pounds is not safe. Children should remain in a rear-facing car seat until they are at least 2 years old or until they reach the highest weight or height allowed by the car seat's manufacturer.
c) Turning the car seat forward-facing when the child is 10 months old is not safe. Children should remain in a rear-facing car seat until they are at least 2 years old or until they reach the highest weight or height allowed by the car seat's manufacturer.
