Passage / Scenario
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the parents of an infant who is at risk for sudden unexpected infant death syndrome (SUIDS).Which of the following statements by the parents indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: "I will dress my baby in lightweight clothing to sleep." This statement reflects an understanding of the teaching because dressing the baby in lightweight clothing helps prevent overheating during sleep, reducing the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It shows awareness of the importance of regulating the baby's body temperature while sleeping.
Other choices are incorrect:
A: Laying the baby on their side for naps is not recommended as it increases the risk of SIDS.
C: Having the baby sleep next to the parents in bed increases the risk of accidental suffocation or overlaying.
D: Moving the baby's stuffed animal to the corner of the crib is not related to safe sleep practices.
