ANS: A
Peek-a-boo is an excellent means of initiating communication with infants while maintaining a safe, nonthreatening distance. The child will most likely become upset if separated from his father. As much of the assessment as possible should be done while the child is on the father's lap. The nurse should have the father undress the child as needed for the examination.
