The nurse is observing an infant and notes that the infant is restless, wide-awake but quiet. The mother reports that her baby often is awake for hours at a time and is very fidgety. How would the nurse respond to her observation?

Since the infant is often awake for long periods, the nurse needs to talk to the doctor about prescribing some medication to calm the child.

The nurse should report the infant’s behavior to her supervisor for further investigation.

The nurse should do a more in-depth investigation to determine why the infant is awake so much and is restless.

Since the mother reports that the infant’s behavior is normal, there is no need for further investigation.
