Practice Question

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?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Keep the infant at a 30° angle for 1 hr following each feeding.

Rationale:

🔺 Positioning the infant at a 30° angle after feeding helps prevent reflux by using gravity.

🔺 This strategy is non-invasive and often recommended before considering medication changes.

🔺 Feeding immediately before sleep may worsen reflux during supine rest.

🔺 Changing to soy formula is not routine unless there's a documented cow’s milk allergy.
