Amother brings her 9-month-old infant to the clinic. the nurse is familiar with the mother's culture and knows that belly binding to prevent extrusion of the umbilicus is a common practice. the nurse accepts the mother's cultural beliefs but is concerned for the infant's safety. what variation of belly binding does the nurse discourage?

The variation of belly binding that the nurse discourage is the coin in the umbilicus. It is because the coin used can be dislodged in which maybe an issue in terms of the safety of the infant as this could result of having the infant to put the coin in his or her mouth.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
