, Question 1
Topic alignment: Infant Safe Sleep (newborn/infant)
A learner asks what home-care point is most important for Infant Safe Sleep. Which
statement by the nurse is best? The nurse has just assumed responsibility for the
patient and is validating the current plan.
A. Place the infant supine on a firm, flat sleep surface with no loose bedding
B. Teach caregivers to use a separate approved sleep surface in the caregiver’s room
C. Place the infant prone after feeding to reduce aspiration
D. Monitor caregivers’ return demonstration of safe sleep positioning
Answer: B. Teach caregivers to use a separate approved sleep surface in the
caregiver’s room
Rationale: This discharge/home-care scenario makes Teach caregivers to use a separate
approved sleep surface in the caregiver’s room the strongest answer. The rationale is that
Supine sleep on a firm, uncluttered surface lowers sleep-related risk; prone positioning is
not recommended for routine sleep. Monitoring supports follow-up and the priority
intervention is reserved for acute need; Place the infant prone after feeding to reduce
aspiration represents unsafe or outdated practice. This prioritization keeps the nurse
focused on the most relevant risk in newborn/infant care rather than selecting an action
simply because it is generally helpful. In this Infant Safe Sleep case, the contextual cue is
that the nurse has just assumed responsibility for the patient and is validating the current
plan.
Question 2
Topic alignment: Infant Safe Sleep (newborn/infant)
While reassessing an infant being prepared for sleep, the nurse notes the nurse must
decide what information matters most for safe follow-up. Which response best
demonstrates safe clinical judgment? The patient was reassessed after a change in
symptoms, and the nurse is comparing the findings with baseline.
A. Place the infant prone after feeding to reduce aspiration
B. Monitor caregivers’ return demonstration of safe sleep positioning
C. Teach caregivers to use a separate approved sleep surface in the caregiver’s room
