The nurse is educating the mother of an infant age 4 months on safety concepts in child rearing. Which of the following statements by the mother suggests that she may require some repetition and reinforcement of the information?
A) I must keep small objects out of the baby's reach.
B) The baby will sleep in her crib, not with me and my husband."
C) I must keep appointments for the baby's immunizations.
D) The baby can sleep on her stomach during naps.
Ans: D
Because sleep habits have been implicated with SIDS, it is recommended that healthy infants up to the age of 6 months sleep on their back (rather than the stomach) on a firm surface in a safety-approved crib. There is a schedule that includes recommendations for infant immunizations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Because infants put small objects in their mouths, choking is a risk. Accidental deaths occur most commonly when infants share a bed with parents (cosleeping) and are inadvertently wedged beneath another person, trapped in a dangerous position, such as between the bed and the wall, or suffocated by bedding.
