单项选择题
The nurse is developing a plan to teach a mother how to reduce her baby's risk of developing otitis media. Which of the following directions should the nurse include in the teaching plan ？（）
A．Administer antibiotics whenever the baby has a cold.
B．Place the baby in an upright position when giving a bottle.
C．Avoid getting the ears wet while bathing or swimming.
D．Clean the external ear canal daily.
答案
参考答案：B
解析：
Feeding a baby in an upright position reduces the pooling of formula in the nasopharynx. Formula provides a good medium for the growth of bacteria, which can travel easily through the short, horizontal eustachian tubes. The other interventions don't reduce the risk of a baby developing otitis media.
