    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

    Choice A reason: Bathing under running water risks temperature instability and drowning in newborns. This is unsafe, showing a lack of proper care understanding.Choice B reason: Washing the face with a warm, wet washcloth without soap protects delicate skin, avoiding irritation. This aligns with newborn hygiene best practices.Choice C reason: Moist towelettes often contain chemicals, unsuitable for newborn scalps. Warm water and cloth are gentler, so this reflects misunderstanding of care.Choice D reason: Daily baths dry out newborn skin, increasing irritation risk. Spot cleaning is advised, making this an incorrect application of hygiene teaching.
