A nurse is caring for a new mother who is concerned that her newborn has strabismus. Which of the following statements is a therapeutic response by the nurse?

A. While strabismus may be treated with interventions such as patching, it is not always immediately concerning in newborns. The nurse should first provide accurate information about normal development. B. Taking the baby to the nursery may not be necessary unless the child’s condition worsens or there is a clear concern. A thorough assessment and explanation by the nurse are more appropriate. C. Strabismus is common in newborns due to the immaturity of eye muscle control and usually resolves as the child develops. This is the most therapeutic response as it provides reassurance based on developmental norms. D. Calling the primary care provider might be premature unless the nurse identifies a significant concern beyond normal development.
