    A nurse is providing teaching about teething and dental care to the parent of a 9-month-old infant. Which statement by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Putting juice in a bottle for the baby to drink while falling asleep can lead to tooth decay, also known as "baby bottle tooth decay." B. Cleaning the baby's gums and teeth with a cool, wet washcloth is a recommended practice to maintain oral hygiene during teething and to soothe discomfort. C. While Ibuprofen can be used for teething pain, it should not be used for more than 3 days without consulting a healthcare provider. D. Teething rings should be cool rather than warm, as cool objects help to soothe gum discomfort more effectively.
