Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics Task Force on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, actions that reduce the incidence of SIDS include: use of a firm sleep surface, room-sharing without bed sharing, removal of soft objects and loose bedding from the crib, breastfeeding, offering a pacifier at nap time and bed time, avoiding overheating the infant, avoiding tobacco smoke, getting the child all recommended immunizations, and avoiding commercial devices that are designed to prevent SIDS.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Assessing a baby's response to stimulation is a vital part of a behavioral assessment. The other assessments are not really related, although a jittery, overstimulated baby who does not sleep well may need a quieter environment and more gentle handling.
