A mother and her newborn are being discharged 2 days after delivery. The general discharge instructions provided by the nurse include: Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected.
 
  Select all that apply. 1. Always place the infant in a supine position in the crib.
  2. Support the infant's head when carrying for the first week or two.
  3. Do not allow the baby to fall asleep in someone's arms.
  4. Do not cover the cord stump with a bandage.
  5. Use a bulb syringe to suction mucus from the infant's nostrils as necessary.

Rationale 1: The supine position is the optimal position for reducing the risk of SIDS in infants younger than 6 months.
Rationale 2: The infant cannot consistently support its own head until 3 or 4 months of age.
Rationale 3: The infant should sleep on the back in the crib or in someone's arms.
Rationale 4: Bandages should not be applied to the cord stump. Air-drying is best.
Rationale 5: Newborns have increased mucus, which can be removed with gentle suctioning with a bulb syringe.
