A) The plan of care to decrease the child's risk of SIDS should include habits to lower the risk of SIDS, one of which is smoking cessation. The nurse should also instruct the mother to use bedding that is firm. The method of feeding is not associated with the syndrome; however, the risk is decreased with breastfeeding not bottle feeding. While age-approprorate immunizations are important for the overall health of the baby, this intervention does not specifically reduce the risk for SIDS. Sleeping with others will increase the child's risk of the syndrome and should not be in the plan of care.
