The nurse is teaching good sleep habits for toddlers to the mother of a 3-year-old boy. Which response indicates the mother understands sleep requirements for her son?
A) "I'll put him to bed at 7 p.m., except Friday and Saturday."
B) "He needs 12 hours of sleep per day including his nap."
C) "I need to put the side down on the crib so he can get out."
D) "His father can give him a horseback ride into his bed."
Ans: B
The mother understands her child needs 12 hours of sleep and one nap per day. Routines, such as the same bedtime every night, promote good sleep. However, a horseback ride to bed may cause problems because it may not provide a calming transition from play to sleep. A bath and reading a book would be better. If the child can climb out of a crib, he needs to be in a youth bed or regular bed to avoid injury.
