A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a 1-week-old infant who has Down syndrome. Which of the following statements should t nurse include?

A. "Your baby has an increased risk for a heart defect.": Infants with Down syndrome have a significantly higher risk for congenital heart defects, such as atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) and ventricular septal defects (VSD). It is important for the parents to be aware of this risk and have the infant screened by a cardiologist. B. "Expect your baby to need factor replacement therapy every month.": Factor replacement therapy is typically associated with hemophilia, not Down syndrome. Down syndrome is a genetic condition that affects development, but it is not clotting disorders. C. "Expect your baby to grow in height more rapidly than weight.": Infants with Down syndrome often experience growth delays, but there is no specific expectation that height will outpace weight. D. "Your baby should have no issues with eyesight.": Children with Down syndrome are at higher risk for vision problems, including strabismus, refractive errors, and cataracts. Regular eye exams are important for early detection and management of these issues.
