A nurse is providing teaching to the parent of an infant who has been diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta type 1. Which of the following statements made by the parent shows that the nurse's teaching has been effective?

A. "I will handle my baby gently and avoid play activities that could cause fractures.": Osteogenesis imperfecta type 1 is the mildest form, characterized by fragile bones and an increased risk of fractures. Gentle handling and careful planning of activities are key preventive measures to protect the infant from injury, reflecting effective understanding of care. B. "It is likely with this type of the disorder that my child will not survive to adulthood.": Type 1 is the mildest form, and affected individuals typically have a normal life expectancy. Believing survival is severely limited indicates a misunderstanding. C. "My child will be very small compared to their peers.": While some mild stature reduction may occur, significant short stature is more characteristic of moderate to severe forms, not type 1. D. "My child's joints did not properly develop, which will cause problems with dislocated joints.": Joint malformations and dislocations are not a hallmark of type 1 OI; bone fragility is the primary concern.
