A nurse is teaching a prenatal class about infant safety. After the class, several of the students are heard discussing what they learned. The nurse knows that the teaching has been effective when one of the future parents states:

  1. “I was given a baby tub at my shower that has a special safety strap that lets me leave the baby alone in it.”
  2. “My mother can’t believe that babies are supposed to sleep on their backs, not their stomachs.”
  3. “My cousin has already made the cutest pillowcases for the baby’s pillows.”
  4. “I have just bought a new baby seat that can be strapped into the front seat of the car.”
Explanation

Answer: B - The nurse knows that teaching has been effective when one of the future parents states “My mother can’t believe that babies are supposed to sleep on their backs, not their stomachs.” Research shows that placing an infant on the back reduces the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome.
