    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a 1-month-old infant who has a cleft lip and is bottle fed. Which of the following statements the guardian indicates that the teaching was effective?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale:A) It's important to burp a baby mid-feed and after the feed to prevent discomfort, especially for a baby with a cleft lip.B) Using a wide-based nipple may be more appropriate for a baby with a cleft lip to help with proper latch and feeding.C) Holding the baby in an upright position during feedings can help prevent milk from entering the nasal passages, which is important for babies with cleft lip.D) Encouraging the baby to maintain relaxed cheeks during feeding may not be applicable for a baby with a cleft lip, as proper positioning and latch are more critical.
