Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Everyone who handles the infant should first wash their hands. This decreases the risk of transmitting infectious diseases to the infant.

In the first few hours after birth, the most serious complication related to the umbilical cord is hemorrhage. Infection would not be evident for several days.
