Question 1

During the "BACK to sleep" campaign,stomach sleeping went from 70% to 20%.What happened to the rate of SIDS deaths?

Accepted Answer

The "BACK to sleep" campaign, which encouraged placing babies on their backs to sleep, led to a significant reduction in the rate of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) deaths, approximately by 50%.

Question 2

What is a risk factor for SIDS?

Accepted Answer

Sleeping stomach-down is a risk factor for SIDS. The safest position for infants to sleep is on their backs to reduce the risk of SIDS.

Question 3

In a survey of American pediatricians,what percentage recommended that infants sleep in a crib in a room of their own?

Accepted Answer

A study conducted in 2016 found that 88% of pediatricians recommended that infants should sleep in a crib in a room of their own to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). This recommendation is in line with the American Academy of Pediatrics' Safe Sleep Guidelines.

Question 4

You and your pediatrician get into an argument regarding where the infant should sleep.You strongly believe that she should sleep with you,while your pediatrician insists that is can be dangerous for her not to sleep in her own crib.What would be your argument?

Accepted Answer

There is no medical consensus that co-sleeping is inherently dangerous; it is often a cultural preference. However, safety guidelines should be followed to minimize risks.

Question 5

The text describes orphanages in Romania in which all of the infants had been seriously deprived.The children were later adopted and recovered dramatically in physical development.It was found that the recovery in cognitive development ____.

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that the recovery in cognitive development depended on the age in which the children were adopted. Children who were adopted at a younger age had a greater chance of cognitive recovery, while those who were adopted at an older age had more difficulty in catching up to their peers.

Question 6

What term describes the situation in which the infant sleeps with the parents?

Accepted Answer

Cosleeping is the term used to describe the situation in which the infant shares a sleep space with the parents. The other answer choices are not commonly used terms to describe this practice.

Question 7

The text describes orphanages in Romania in which all of the infants had been seriously deprived.What was found regarding cognitive development for the children who were adopted when they were older than six months of age?

Accepted Answer

The text states that "children who were adopted when they were older than six months of age had a rate of cognitive impairment several times higher than those adopted earlier."

Question 8

What is a risk factor for SIDS?

Accepted Answer

Maternal smoking during pregnancy is a well-established risk factor for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It is recommended that pregnant women avoid smoking to decrease the risk of SIDS. None of the other options listed have been shown to be significant risk factors for SIDS.

Question 9

How do non-Western cultures view the belief that infants should sleep in a crib in a room of their own?

Accepted Answer

Non-Western cultures often emphasize close proximity of mother and infant, and view the practice of placing infants in a separate room or crib as neglectful and potentially harmful to the child's well-being. This is particularly true in cultures where co-sleeping is the norm, such as many Asian and African societies.

Question 10

When you are visiting friends who just had a newborn,you notice that the baby is lying face-down in her crib.What do you tell your friends?

Accepted Answer

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends placing infants on their backs to sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). Lying face-down increases the risk of SIDS, and it is important for the parents to know this for the safety of their child.

Question 11

Neonates,on average,sleep____ hours a day and of that time ____ is spent in REM.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Neonates,on average,sleep____ hours a day and of...

Question 12

Which of the following is a known factor that increases the probability of SIDS?

Accepted Answer

Sleeping stomach-down instead of flat on the back is a known risk factor for SIDS. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends placing infants on their backs to sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS. The other options (A, C, D) are not risk factors for SIDS.

Question 13

SIDS is almost unknown in cultures where ____.

Accepted Answer

SIDS is almost unknown in cultures where cosleeping is the norm, such as in Japan and other Asian countries. Research has shown that cosleeping can actually reduce the risk of SIDS because it helps regulate the baby's breathing and body temperature, and allows for more frequent feeding and soothing.

Question 14

In Japan and South Korea,two of the most technologically advanced societies in the world,how many infants cosleep with their mothers?

Accepted Answer

In Japan and South Korea, nearly all infants co-sleep with their mothers. This is a common practice in these societies and is even encouraged for bonding and emotional development.

Question 15

____ describes when an infant who does not have any apparent illness or disease simply falls asleep and never wakes up.

Accepted Answer

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a sudden and unexpected death of an apparently healthy infant, typically occurring during sleep. It is also known as crib death or cot death.

Question 16

Infants need more ____ in their diets than at any later point in life,for the growth of their bodies and especially their brains.

Accepted Answer

Infants require more fat in their diets compared to any other time in life to support rapid growth and brain development. Fat is crucial for energy and the absorption of certain vitamins, and it plays a key role in the development of the brain and nervous system in infants.

Question 17

Lipsitt (2003)extensively examined SIDS and found that infants were most vulnerable to succumb to SIDS between 2 and 4 months.Why?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Lipsitt (2003)extensively examined SIDS and found that...

Question 18

What is the leading cause of death for infants between birth and one year of age in developed countries?

Accepted Answer

SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is the leading cause of death in infants between birth and one year of age in developed countries.

Question 19

At 6 months of age,American infants sleep about 14 hours a day,whereas infants who are the same age in Kenya sleep about 12 hours a day,and infants in the Netherlands sleep about 16 hours a day.This variation is best described by ____.

Accepted Answer

The variation in sleep patterns among infants in different countries is likely due to cultural practices related to parenting and sleep routines, rather than reflexive responses, innate programming, or biological influences.

Question 20

Which the following are known factors related to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Soft bedding, sleeping stomach down, and low birth weight are all known factors related to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. A high Apgar score, low irritability, colic, and a family history of SIDS are not considered risk factors for SIDS. Hard bedding and sleeping back down are also not recommended for infants as they can increase the risk of suffocation, but they are not specifically related to SIDS.
