Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Rates for SIDS are highest for African-American children. The nurse should instruct the mother to place the baby in the face-up position when in the crib. Side-lying and face-down positions are associated with a higher risk of the syndrome and should not be instructed. Although important, good hand washing and adequate nutrition are not interventions that would assist in preventing SIDS.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, D

SIDS is most common in American Indians and Alaska Natives, followed by non-Hispanic Blacks, non-Hispanic Whites, Asian or Pacific Islanders, and Hispanics. It is more common in males than in females. SIDS is most common in infants between 2 and 4 months of age. Father's age and infant eye color are not related to the risk of SIDS.
