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

A. "Expect your baby to need factor replacement therapy every month.": Factor replacement therapy is associated with bleeding disorders like hemophilia, not Down syndrome. It is not a routine treatment for infants with this condition unless another diagnosis is present. B. "Expect your baby to grow in height more rapidly than weight.": Infants with Down syndrome typically have slower growth in both height and weight compared to peers. Their growth pattern is different and monitored using Down syndrome-specific growth charts. C. "Your baby has an increased risk for a heart defect.": Congenital heart defects, such as atrioventricular septal defects, are common in infants with Down syndrome. Early cardiac evaluation is standard to detect any structural abnormalities. D. "Your baby should have no issues with eyesight.": Vision problems are common in children with Down syndrome. These may include strabismus, cataracts, and refractive errors, so regular ophthalmologic evaluations are important.
