A nurse is educating a patient with multiple sclerosis who has been prescribed baclofen. What guidance should the nurse include in the education?

Choice A rationale

Avoiding warm water to wash the patient’s face is not typically necessary for a patient with a right-sided acoustic neuroma.

Choice B rationale

Applying an eye patch to the patient’s right eye is not typically necessary unless the patient is experiencing double vision, which is not a common symptom of acoustic neuroma.

Choice C rationale

Providing range-of-motion exercises to the patient’s neck and shoulders is not typically necessary for a patient with a right-sided acoustic neuroma.

Choice D rationale

Placing suction equipment at the patient’s bedside can be helpful if the patient is experiencing difficulty swallowing or has a risk of aspiration due to impairment of cranial nerves IX and X111213.

Choice A rationale

Padding the mattress in a baby’s crib can pose a suffocation risk and is not recommended for crib safety22.

Choice B rationale

Placing a baby on their stomach for sleep, known as prone sleeping, increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Babies should always be placed on their back to sleep22.

Choice C rationale

Removing extra blankets from a baby’s crib is a key part of crib safety. Loose bedding can pose a suffocation risk22.

Choice D rationale

Placing a baby’s crib next to a heater could lead to overheating, which is a risk factor for SIDS. It’s important to keep the baby’s sleep environment at a comfortable temperature22.
