The nurse educates the parents on actions to prevent sudden infant death syndrome.Which observation indicates the teaching has been effective?

Choice A rationaleRemoving a pacifier does not align with preventing SIDS. Studies suggest pacifier use during sleep reduces the risk of SIDS by maintaining airway patency and ensuring better sleep quality, though it should be used appropriately without attaching strings or clips that may pose risks.Choice B rationaleFeeding every 2 hours does not directly prevent SIDS but supports adequate nutrition for growth and development. While proper feeding schedules are important, specific sleeping arrangements and environment management play a more significant role in reducing SIDS risk.Choice C rationalePlacing the newborn on their back to sleep aligns with safe sleep recommendations to prevent SIDS. This position reduces the risk of airway obstruction and promotes proper breathing. The supine sleep position is widely endorsed by health organizations for its protective effect.Choice D rationaleDraping a blanket over the newborn increases the risk of suffocation and overheating, both of which are associated with SIDS. It is essential to keep sleep environments free of loose items and ensure the baby is dressed appropriately for the room's temperature to reduce these risks.
