Explanation:

Analyze licensing rules for infant sleep safety

All five options represent standard, evidence-based licensing rules and safety guidelines for infant sleep in child care facilities to prevent SIDS/SUID:

1. "Always place infant on their back to sleep" is the primary safe sleep practice.
2. "Infants must be placed in an approved crib, porta-crib, or play yard (homes only)" ensures a safe sleep environment.
3. "The only items in the crib are a firm, tight-fitting mattress with a tight-fitting sheet" prevents suffocation hazards from loose bedding or toys.
4. "Nothing should be draped over the side or within reach of the crib" prevents strangulation and suffocation hazards.
5. "The infant's head must be kept uncovered" prevents overheating and airway obstruction.
