Which is a general newborn safety teaching point nurses commonly reinforce with new parents?

A general newborn safety teaching point is to never leave a newborn unattended on an elevated surface (such as a changing table or bed) because of the fall risk, along with following current safe-sleep recommendations and using appropriate car-seat safety. These are core anticipatory-guidance points for new parents. Leaving an infant unsupervised on a high surface, dismissing car seats, or downplaying supervision are clearly unsafe. Understanding general newborn-safety teaching is a standard health-promotion concept. (This reflects general safety principles; specific safe-sleep and car-seat recommendations change over time and must be verified against current authoritative guidance and NCLEX prep materials.)
