The nurse teaching parents about sudden infant death syndrome prevention emphasizes the importance of:

2. Checking on the infant frequently.
3. Having an infant monitor in the infant's room.
4. Dressing the infant warmly and removing blankets from the crib.

Rationale: The most important measure in SIDS prevention is placing the infant on his back to sleep. SIDS normally occurs quickly and silently, so an infant monitor or checking the infant frequently would have no preventative effects. Dressing the infant warmly and removing blankets are generally not applicable to SIDS prevention.
