A nurse is reinforcing teaching about crib safety with a group of prenatal clients.Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Place bumper pads securely between the mattress and the rails of the crib.

Place your newborn on a foam-wedge cushion during naps.

Use a plastic cover to protect the crib mattress.

Ensure that the mattress fits securely against the sides of the crib.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Choice A rationale

Bumper pads can pose a suffocation risk to the newborn. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against their use to promote a safe sleep environment.

Choice B rationale

Foam-wedge cushions are not recommended as they can increase the risk of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by obstructing airflow.

Choice C rationale

Plastic covers can pose a suffocation hazard. Instead, using a fitted sheet is safer and reduces the risk of suffocation.

Choice D rationale

A well-fitting mattress reduces gaps between the mattress and crib sides, preventing entrapment, which helps reduce the risk of suffocation and injury.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Each feeding should last between 20 and 30 minutes to ensure the baby gets enough nutrition and to facilitate bonding time.

Choice B rationale

Prepared formula should be used within 24 hours if stored in the refrigerator, not 5 days, to prevent bacterial growth and ensure the baby's safety.

Choice C rationale

Formula left at room temperature should not be refrigerated for reuse; it can develop bacteria that may harm the baby.

Choice D rationale

It is recommended to burp the baby multiple times during feeding to release swallowed air and prevent discomfort or spitting up.

A. Encourage frequent ambulation B. Ensure the client maintains a supine position while in bed C. Check FHR every 30 min D. Perform a Nitrazine test E. Prepare the client for catheterization F. Obtain CBC blood sample G. Check the client's temperature every hour

Correct Answer is {"A":{"answers":"A"},"B":{"answers":"C"},"C":{"answers":"A"},"D":{"answers":"A"},"E":{"answers":"B"},"F":{"answers":"A"},"G":{"answers":"A"}}

Explanation

Encourage frequent ambulation - Anticipated
- Ambulation can help progress labor and is generally encouraged if there are no contraindications.
Ensure the client maintains a supine position while in bed - Contraindicated
- Supine positioning can decrease uteroplacental blood flow and is generally not recommended during labor.
Check FHR every 30 min - Anticipated
- Regular monitoring of the fetal heart rate is essential to assess fetal well-being during labor.
Perform a Nitrazine test - Anticipated
- Since the client reports a gush of fluid, a Nitrazine test can help confirm whether the membranes have ruptured.
Prepare the client for catheterization - Nonessential
- The client has voided recently and doesn’t indicate difficulty, making catheterization unnecessary at this stage.
Obtain CBC blood sample - Anticipated
- A CBC can provide important information about the client's health status and identify any potential issues, like infection or anemia.
Check the client's temperature every hour - Anticipated
- Regularly monitoring temperature can help detect signs of infection, which is particularly important if the membranes have ruptured.
