Ati 232g paediatrics proctored exam sect 2
A nurse is teaching car seat safety to a parent of an infant who weighs 4.5 kg (10 lb). Which of the following car seat positions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Placing a car seat in the front passenger seat is unsafe due to the risk of airbag deployment. B. The safest position for an infant car seat is rear-facing in the middle of the back seat to protect from side-impact collisions. C. While rear-facing is correct, positioning next to a window is not as safe as the middle of the back seat. D. Forward-facing is not recommended for infants and should be delayed as long as possible, typically until age 2 or when the child outgrows the rear-facing car seat.
