The most appropriate response by the nurse is to educate the parents on the benefits of responding quickly to their baby's cries, as this promotes a sense of security in the child. It is important to advocate for evidence-based practices that are in the best interest of the infant's well-being. Option A is not appropriate as it does not address the issue at hand. Option B may or may not be true, but it does not address the parents' belief directly. Option D is not appropriate as it places blame on the parents and is not supported by evidence.
