    A nurse is teaching about preventing sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) to a parent of a 1-month-old infant. Which of the following ling indicates that the parent understands how to place the infant in the crib at bedtime?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. The infant is swaddled but there is a blanket and a stuffed toy in the crib. Loose items increase the risk of suffocation and SUID, so this does not demonstrate safe sleep practices. B. The infant is placed on their back, but there is a blanket and a stuffed toy in the crib. These items pose a suffocation risk and do not follow safe sleep guidelines. C. The infant is placed on their back in a swaddle with no loose blankets or toys in the crib. This position aligns with American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations for safe sleep to reduce the risk of SUID, demonstrating proper understanding of safe sleep practices.
