The nurse is evaluating care provided to a new mother whose infant is at risk for sudden death syndrome (SIDS). Which statement by the mother indicates teaching has been effective?
A) "I need to purchase loose-fitting sheets and blankets for the bed."
B) "I plan to quit smoking."
C) "I will place my baby in a side-lying position for sleep."
D) "I will bottle-feed my baby since breastfeeding is a risk factor for SIDS."
Answer: B
If the mother of an infant at risk for SIDS expresses her plan to quit smoking, the nursing care would have been effective. Loose-fitting sheets and blankets are associated with an increased risk for the syndrome. The prone and side-lying positions increase the risk for the syndrome. The feeding method is not implicated with the syndrome and would not be used to evaluate the plan of care for an infant at risk for SIDS.
