    A nurse is caring for an infant who has a cleft palate and is having trouble bottle feeding.Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale:A) Selecting a bottle with a one-way flow valve can help control the flow of milk, making it easier for the infant to manage feeding with a cleft palate.B) Choosing a bottle with a narrow nipple may not be as effective in controlling milk flow for an infant with a cleft palate.C) Burping the infant regularly is important during feeding, but it does not specifically address the challenges associated with feeding a child with a cleft palate.D) The football hold may or may not be helpful depending on the individual infant's feeding preferences and the severity of the cleft palate.
