The nurse instructs the parents of a newborn on actions to prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Which observation indicates that teaching has been effective?
A) Newborn is placed on the back to sleep.
B) Mother removes a pacifier from the baby's mouth.
C) The baby is on an every-2-hour formula-feeding schedule.
D) Parents signed a waiver refusing routine immunizations after birth.
A
Feedback:
Putting newborns to sleep on the back has decreased the incidence of SIDS by 50% to 60%. Other recommendations to decrease SIDS include using a pacifier, breastfeeding, and having routine immunizations. Removing the pacifier, bottle feeding, and refusing routine immunizations after birth all increase the infant's risk for experiencing SIDS.
