Extract:
A nurse is caring for a newborn whose mother voices concerns about sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Question 1 of 5
The nurse should include which of the following statements in a discussion with the mother?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Placing the child on her back when sleeping reduces the risk of SIDS by promoting a clear airway and decreasing the likelihood of suffocation. This recommendation is supported by research and guidelines from organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Choice B is incorrect because SIDS rates have actually been decreasing over the past decade.
Choice C is incorrect as there is no direct correlation between SIDS and vaccines.
Choice D is incorrect because sleep apnea is not the main cause of SIDS; the exact cause of SIDS is still unknown.
