    Ati n400 pediatric proctored exam e. W

    A nurse has completed discharge teaching for the caregivers of an infant who has been in the hospital after a near SUID(Sudden Unexplained Infant Death) experience. Which of the following statements by the caregivers indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. This statement reflects correct understanding of safe sleep practices recommended to reduce the risk of SUID. Infants should be placed on a firm mattress in a crib with no loose bedding or soft objects. B. Hospitalization does not guarantee that apneic spells will not recur; continued monitoring and safe sleep are essential. C. Bed-sharing increases the risk of SUID and is not a recommended practice. D. Sleeping in a swing or car seat is not safe for prolonged sleep and may increase the risk of airway obstruction and SUID.
