A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a 2-month-old infant who has gastroesophageal reflux. The parents are feeding the infant formula. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Keeping the infant at a 30-degree angle after feedings uses gravity to reduce reflux. Bedtime feeding, infrequent feedings, and soy formula without allergy indication worsen or don't address reflux.
