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?

A. A premature newborn: Premature infants are at higher risk for iron deficiency anemia because they have lower iron stores at birth compared to full-term infants. Additionally, premature infants may not have had sufficient time in utero to accumulate adequate iron stores from maternal

transfusions.

B. A postterm newborn: Postterm infants, born after 42 weeks of gestation, are not typically at increased risk for iron deficiency anemia solely based on gestational age.

C. A newborn born to a diabetic mother: While infants born to diabetic mothers may have other health risks, they are not inherently at higher risk for iron deficiency anemia unless there are other complicating factors such as prematurity or inadequate iron intake.

D. A term newborn with jaundicE. Jaundice in a term newborn is typically caused by elevated

levels of bilirubin and is not directly associated with an increased risk of iron deficiency anemia.

A. Telling about safety procedures during baths: While bath safety is important, it may not be the most relevant topic for a 9-month-old, who may already have established bathing routines. Additionally, the focus of anticipatory guidance at this age is often broader than just one specific activity.

B. Warning about small objects left on the floor: While important for safety, this advice may be more pertinent when the child is older and more mobile. At 9 months, infants are typically not yet crawling or exploring the environment as extensively.

C. Advising how to create a toddler-safe homE. At 9 months, infants are becoming more mobile and curious, so advising on how to create a safe environment is crucial to prevent accidents and injuries as the child begins to explore their surroundings.

D. Cautioning about putting the baby in a walker: Walkers are generally not recommended due to safety concerns, but this advice may be more relevant when the child is closer to reaching the appropriate age for walker use.
