A nurse is teaching the guardian of a 1-month-old infant about infant safety. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Apply splints to the child's extremities during the day. Splints are typically used at night to help prevent joint contractures and support proper alignment during rest. Daytime use may limit mobility and physical activity, which are encouraged.
B. Encourage the child to take naps during the day. While rest is important, excessive daytime napping can contribute to joint stiffness and reduced function. Activity and movement are encouraged to maintain joint flexibility.
C. Have the child take a tub bath each morning. Warm baths help relieve joint stiffness and pain associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Morning bathing is especially beneficial to improve mobility at the start of the day.
D. Keep the child on bedrest as long as pain persists. Prolonged bedrest can lead to muscle atrophy, stiffness, and joint contractures. Maintaining activity, as tolerated, is key to managing symptoms and preserving joint function.

A. Trim the fat from red meat prior to cooking. Children with cystic fibrosis often have difficulty absorbing fats due to pancreatic insufficiency, but they actually need higher fat intake to meet their increased energy demands. Trimming fat is not necessary or recommended.
B. Provide a diet high in protein and calories. Children with cystic fibrosis require a high-calorie, high-protein diet to support growth, maintain weight, and compensate for the energy lost due to chronic lung infections and malabsorption.
C. Administer pancreatic enzymes 30 min after meals. Pancreatic enzymes should be given before or with meals and snacks to aid digestion. Giving them 30 minutes after a meal reduces their effectiveness.
D. Give the child hot foods to reduce the sense of fullness. There is no evidence to support using hot foods to manage fullness in cystic fibrosis. Instead, meals should be nutrient-dense and timed to optimize digestion and absorption.
