What should the teaching plan include about infant fall precautions? (Select all that apply.).

Choice A rationale:

Using a tray attachment on a high chair as a restraint is not a recommended fall precaution for infants. Restraining an infant in this manner can be dangerous and may lead to injuries. Infants should be securely strapped into their high chair but not confined using tray attachments.

Choice B rationale:

Keeping crib rails up and in a locked position is essential for infant fall precautions. This prevents the infant from climbing or falling out of the crib, reducing the risk of injury. It's a crucial safety measure.

Choice C rationale:

Removing all unsteady furniture is an important fall precaution. Unsteady furniture can easily tip over if an infant tries to pull themselves up or grasp onto it. This can result in injuries, making it necessary to secure or remove such furniture.

Choice D rationale:

Stabilizing the infant with a hand when on a changing table is a necessary fall precaution. Infants can be quite wiggly, and having a hand on them helps prevent them from rolling off the changing table, which can lead to serious injuries.

Choice E rationale:

Keeping the infant seat on the floor while indoors is another important fall precaution. Placing the infant seat on an elevated surface can lead to falls, so it should always be kept on the floor to ensure the baby's safety.

The correct answer is Choice A: Placing the infant downward into the crib.

Choice A rationale:

The parachute reflex, also known as the protective extension reflex, is demonstrated by holding the infant upright and then quickly tilting them downward (towards the crib or another surface). The infant should extend their arms forward as if to protect themselves from falling, demonstrating the reflex.

Choice B rationale:

Seating the infant in a stroller in an upright position does not involve the motion required to elicit the parachute reflex.

Choice C rationale:

Lifting the infant high in the air above her head does not demonstrate the parachute reflex. This action may cause startle or other reflexes but not the parachute reflex.

Choice D rationale:

Holding the infant in a football hold, cradling the head, does not position the infant in a way that would demonstrate the parachute reflex.
