The nurse is placing a newborn baby in the nursery crib with the baby's back down. The mother tells the nurse that she doubts the baby will be able to sleep that way since all the family members sleep on their stomachs
Which of the following should the nurse do? 1. Place the baby on the stomach
2. Instruct the mother that babies do not really care in which position they are in but placing on the back is easier to provide care
3. Instruct the mother that placing the baby on the back will reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
4. Suggest the mother place the baby on the stomach when at home
3. Instruct the mother that placing the baby on the back will reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
Rationale:
The nurse needs to model protective behavior for the mother to use when the baby is taken home. The nurse should instruct the mother that placing the baby on the back will reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. The nurse should not place the baby on the stomach nor suggest that the mother place the baby on the stomach when at home. Placing the baby on the back does not necessarily make it easier to provide care.
