Try a sample question
A parent is preparing a sleep space for a newborn.
Which setup should the nurse recommend?
- A firm, flat crib mattress with a fitted sheet.
- A soft pillow inside a bassinet.
- An adult bed with a thick comforter.
- A couch cushion surrounded by rolled towels.
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A. A firm, flat crib mattress with a fitted sheet.
A firm, flat sleep surface reduces sleep hazards.
Why the other options don’t fit
Pillows add a suffocation hazard. Adult bedding is not a safe infant sleep surface. Couches and loose objects are unsafe for infant sleep.
