The nurse is offering safety instructions to a parent with a 4 month-old infant and a 4 year-old child. Which statement by the parent indicates a correct understanding of the appropriate precautions to take with the children?

"I strap the infant car seat on the front seat to face backwards."

"I place my infant in the middle of the living room floor on a blanket to play with my 4 year-old while I make supper in the kitchen."

"I have the 4 year-old hold and help feed the 4 month-old a bottle with me."

"My sleeping baby lies so cute in the crib with the little buttocks stuck up in the air while the 4 year-old naps on the sofa."

"I have the 4 year-old hold and help feed the 4 month-old a bottle with me."

Explanation:

The first option is wrong, because, it is wrong for the infant car seat to be on the front seat of a car. The recommended position for the infant car seat is on the rear seat.

The second statement is also wrong. Infants should not be left alone with small children under no supervision. So, leaving the 4 year old child to play with the infant in the living room, while you are in the kitchen is not advisable.

Babies should not be made to sleep with their buttocks stuck up in the air. They are meant to lay on their back when they go to sleep.

So, the correct option is "I have the 4 year-old hold and help feed the 4 month-old a bottle with me." A four year old could help feed an infant when there is proper help and supervision.
