A nurse is providing teaching about car seat safety to the parent of a term newborn. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. Performing another internal exam is not the priority at this moment. The priority is assessing fetal well-being.

B. Notifying the client's provider may be necessary, but it is not the immediate priority.

C. Checking the fetal heart rate (FHR) is the priority action to assess fetal well-being after the observed fluid gush, as it could indicate rupture of membranes and potentially fetal distress.

D. Obtaining a pH test of the fluid can be done later for confirmation of rupture of membranes but is not the immediate priority compared to assessing fetal well-being.

A. Insisting on direct eye contact may be uncomfortable or distressing for some clients, particularly those with certain mental health conditions or cultural backgrounds. It's important to respect the client's comfort level.

B. Seating the client too far away can create a sense of distance and may hinder effective communication. A closer seating arrangement facilitates rapport and engagement.

C. Positioning the client's chair between the nurse's chair and the door may make the client feel trapped or uncomfortable, especially if they have concerns about their safety or autonomy.

D. Leaning in slightly when speaking to the client demonstrates attentiveness and engagement. It can also convey a sense of confidentiality and respect for the client's space.
