The nurse is evaluating care provided to a new mother whose infant is at risk for sudden death syndrome (SIDS). Evidence that care has been effective would be the mother expressing:
1. The need to purchase loose-fitting sheets and blankets for the bed.
2. The proper way to place the infant in the crib as being prone or side-lying.
3. A plan to quit smoking.
4. The reasons why bottle feeding is preferred over breastfeeding.
3. A plan to quit smoking.
Rationale:
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.
