The nurse is caring for an infant with a myelomeningocele. The parents ask the nurse why the nurse keeps measuring the baby’s head circumference. Select the nurse’s best response: 1. “We measure all babies’ heads to ensure that their growth is on track.” 2. “Babies with myelomeningocele are at risk for hydrocephalus, which can show up with an increase in head circumference.” 3. “Because your baby has an opening on the spinal cord, your infant is at risk for meningitis, which can show up with an increase in head circumference.” 4. “Many infants with myelomeningocele have microcephaly, which can show up with a decrease in head circumference.”
