    A nurse is reinforcing teaching about newborn care with a new guardian. Which of the following statements by the guardian indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Incorrect. Newborns' heads can be sensitive, and washing with a moist towelette might not be gentle enough for their delicate skin. B. Correct. Newborns' skin is sensitive, and using a warm, wet washcloth without soap is recommended to gently clean their face. C. Incorrect. Bathing a newborn under a running faucet can be challenging and might expose the baby to temperature variations. It's important to ensure that the baby is comfortable during bathing. D. Incorrect. Newborns don't need to be bathed daily. Bathing them too frequently can dry out their skin and lead to discomfort.
