    A nurse is teaching new parents the proper way to use an infant safety seat. Which of the following should indicate to the nurse a need for further teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Using the child’s weight and height to determine when to transition to a booster seat is correct and follows car seat safety guidelines. B. Dressing the baby in a thin, one-piece outfit allows the harness to fit snugly, which is the correct method for securing an infant. C. It is unsafe for an infant to face forward or be positioned to watch the driver; infants should always face the rear of the car and remain focused on safety, not visibility. D. Placing the infant seat in the middle of the back seat, away from airbags, is the safest position to reduce the risk of injury in a collision.
