An important nursing intervention when caring for an infant with a myelomeningocele in the preoperative stage would be to
1. Place infant supine to decrease pressure on the sac.
2. Apply a heat lamp to facilitate drying and toughening of the sac.
3. Measure head circumference every shift to identify developing hydrocephalus.
4. Apply a diaper to prevent contamination of the sac.
