C) Tell the mother that the baby is dead but that you cannot allow her to hold him until the police verify that no crime has been committed.
D) Begin CPR and continue BLS measures until you are inside the ambulance; notify the hospital that you are transporting a deceased SIDS infant.

Answer:

D) Do CPR until the medical personell has arrived

Explanation:

It is best to continue life supporting efforts in the off chance that there is something that can be done or that there has been some human error in your assessment.  It is also practical to remove the child from the mother in case there was some harm done to the child. Doing CPR will keep the situation under control rather than telling the mother that the child is dead since you are not a medical doctor and it is not within your limits to do so while help is on the way.

What are 3 key steps to communicating with parents
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

You can communicate with your parents in multiple ways, but some are better than others.

1 - Don't lie, be completely honest!

2 - Don't argue with them, if they disagree they're entitled to that opinion but also remind them you're entitled to your opinion.

3- Listen to them - If they have something to say, listen to their opinion. Chances are, they have done what you're doing as a teenager and that's what parents are here for is to keep you from doing the mistakes they did when they was younger.
