Tracy, a G1 TPAL 0000 woman, is in labor at 30 weeks gestation. She is very concerned about the health of her baby and her impending preterm birth.
Tracy asks the perinatal nurse about her baby's possibilities for survival and what physiological development has occurred by this time. The nurse's best response is:

C) At 30 weeks of age, your baby will be small and will need to be in the hospital for a long time but will survive.
