1This is incorrect. EMCO has been cited as one of the factors that has reduced infant mortality among preterm
infants.
2This is incorrect. Although advances in medical treatments have decreased infant mortality, exogenous pulmonary
surfactant is primarily used to reduce mortality of preterm infants.
3This is incorrect. The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative was developed to support breastfeeding and is not directly
linked to reduced infant mortality or SIDS.
4This is correct. The Back to Sleep campaign and the Safe to Sleep campaigns were designed to promote healthy
infant sleeping habits. The decrease in SIDS from
1995 to 2015 was attributed to the Safe to Sleep campaign. PTS: 1 CON: Health Promotion
