After the introduction of the Back to Sleep campaign in 1992, an increased incidence has been noted of which of the following pediatric disorders? (Select all that apply.)
a. SIDS
b. Torticollis
c. Failure to thrive
d. Apnea of infancy
e. Plagiocephaly
ANS: B, E
Plagiocephaly is a misshapen head caused by the prolonged pressure on one side of the skull. If that side becomes misshapen, facial asymmetry may result. The sternocleidomastoid muscle may tighten on the affected side, causing torticollis. SIDS has decreased by more than 40% with the introduction of the Back to Sleep campaign. Apnea of infancy and failure to thrive are unrelated to the Back to Sleep campaign.
