A nurse is reinforcing education to the parents of a newborn who has Down syndrome. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Recommending early intervention services for developmental support within the first month after birth. Early intervention is critical for children with Down syndrome to support cognitive, motor, and social development. Services such as physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy should begin as soon as possible to maximize the child's developmental potential. B. Suggesting the parents consider genetic testing to guide future reproductive decisions. While genetic counseling can be beneficial for family planning, this is not the immediate priority for parents who are just beginning to care for their newborn with Down syndrome. The focus should be on supporting the child's development and parental education. C. Encouraging the parents to research advancements in treatments for Down syndrome independently. While learning about Down syndrome is important, parents should receive guidance from healthcare professionals and support organizations rather than being left to navigate information on their own. Providing credible resources is more appropriate. D. Providing the parents with a list of local pediatricians for well-child check-ups and vaccinations. While pediatric follow-ups are necessary, Down syndrome care goes beyond standard well-child visits. A more comprehensive approach includes early intervention services, specialty care (e.g., cardiology, ENT), and developmental support.
