Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

First, Charlene should never lay the baby on a soft surface to sleep--a firm crib mattress is the best place for the baby. The crib itself should be free of soft toys, bumper pads, pillows, and comforters and the like to reduce the risk of obstructing breathing. Charlene can avoid overheating her baby, which would reduce the risk of SIDS, by lightly clothing the baby and keeping the room temperature comfortable, but not hot. She can place the infant on its back instead of on its tummy when it's time for sleep. Finally, Charlene should make sure that she doesn't smoke, and that no one is allowed to smoke around the baby. All of these efforts will reduce the risk of a SIDS episode.
