A nurse is teaching a group of parents about the dangers of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The nurse recommends that parents place their children on a firm surface laying on their:
A) left side.
B) right side.
C) abdomen.
D) back.
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. Placing infants in a side-lying position is not recommended because babies who sleep on their sides are more likely to roll onto their abdomen.
