Anurse is teaching a prenatal class regarding infant safety. after the class several of the students are heard discussing what they have learned. the nurse determines that the teaching has been effective when one of the future parents makes which statement?

"My mother can't believe that babies are supposed to sleep on their backs, not their stomachs."

Explanation:

Studies show that simply putting the baby in the right sleeping position can reduce the risk of sudden death by up to 70%. Laying the baby on its back, on its back is the correct way to lay the baby up to 1 year of age to reduce the risk of sudden death, according to researchers from the Center for Epidemiological Research at the Federal University of Pelotas - Brazil (UFPel) and recent campaigns in the United States and England.

Although some parents do not believe it, the risks of letting their baby sleep from their tummies are similar to sleeping on their side. These are unstable positions, many babies roll over and end up face down. If a child is lying on his back and drowning, his tendency, on instinct, is to cough and thereby draw the attention of his parents. In the case of sudden death, this reaction does not happen and the death occurs "silently".
