A pregnant patient wants to know what she can do to make
 
  sure that her baby is not born with a soft spot on the head like her friend's newborn. What should the nurse respond that addresses the bones of the skull?
  A) Bone takes a long time to develop; the skull bones will be stronger and more solid than bones that are completely formed at birth.
  B) The bones remain soft until the brain is completely developed to make sure the skull is large enough to accommodate a large brain.
  C) Most babies are born without the soft spot, but if they have one it will be checked.
  D) The soft spot and unclosed sutures in the skull allow the bones to move as they need to so that the baby's head can move through the narrow birth canal.
