create and evaluation plan for SIDS in Stark County Apa format

Answer 1

SIDs is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome . When a healthy baby dies suddenly and unexpectedly and there is no explanation for the cause of death it is known as SIDs . In Stark County the number of SIDs is increasing day by day . To prevent this an action plan has to developed and implemented which will provide the people knowledge about how to take care of babies especially less than 1years and how to prevent the SIDs . Some of the methods are:-

Lay your baby on their back whenever you’re putting them to sleep for the night or a nap.

Put your baby to sleep with a pacifier even if it eventually falls out of the baby’s mouth. However — use only the pacifier. The pacifier should not be on a cord around your baby’s neck, or attached to the baby’s clothing, bedding, or a stuffed animal.

Don’t smoke or use alcohol or illicit drugs during pregnancy or after birth.

Don’t let anyone smoke in your home or around your baby.

Get regular prenatal care during your pregnancy.

Keep your baby close to you when they are sleeping — in the same room, but not in the same bed.

Avoid co-sleeping (bed sharing) with your baby or letting them sleep with other children or adults.

Remove toys, bumper pads, blankets, and pillows from the crib when putting your baby down to sleep.

Avoid overwrapping (swaddling) your baby when putting them down to sleep.

Use a safety-approved crib mattress and place a fitted sheet over it.

Breastfeed your baby to help reduce the risk of SIDS.

There must be strict laws implemented in Stark County to follow the above steps to prevent SIDs and then an analysis has to be done after implementation of the plan to evaluate the difference in the number of cases with SIDs . Those who don't attend the action plan should be imposed penalty and strict actions should be taken against them .
