Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nurses can help achieve 2020 National Health Goals by encouraging mothers to continue breastfeeding through the first 6 months of life. The mother should be instructed to place the infants on the back to sleep and the danger of tooth decay from allowing a baby to drink from a bottle of milk or juice while falling asleep. Bathing should be from the most clean to the most soiled and hair should be washed daily.
Bathing and hair washing do not impact achievement of the 2020 National Health Goals.
