Practice Question
A nurse is educating a new mother on newborn crib safety. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority in ensuring the newborn's safety while sleeping?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Employ safe sleep strategies to reduce suffocation death in infants and ensure infants are placed on their back to sleep.
Rationale:
🍼 The priority action for newborn crib safety is to place the infant on their back (supine position) for sleep to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
🍼 Safe sleep practices also include using a firm mattress, keeping the crib free from pillows, blankets, and bumper pads, and ensuring no loose items that can obstruct breathing.
🍼 Parents should maintain a comfortable room temperature, use a sleep sack instead of a blanket, and avoid co-sleeping.
🍼 These evidence-based strategies significantly reduce the risk of suffocation and sudden unexpected infant death (SUID).
