A family states to the home health nurse that they were given a used crib for their son, who is 14 months old. The parents describe the crib as having a drop-side rail. The nurse should educate the parents about:
1. Making sure the bedding is well washed because of bacteria from another child using it.
2. Checking all the parts of the crib to make sure it is not missing anything.
3. Drop-sided cribs are now banned from being sold because they can increase injury since a child can push the railing down.
4. Making sure to place all bedding around the crib so that the child does not get a foot caught out of the railing.

Feedback
1. Clean bedding is important, but not the top safety concern at this time.
2. All parts are important, but not the top safety priority.
3. Drop-sided cribs are a safety hazard because toddlers are able to push the rail down and become caught, causing injury
4. Placing bedding around the crib is not recommended, as it increases the chance for suffocation.
