Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Heart rate and respiratory rate are within normal limits for a newborn 2 hours old.
1. Heart rate and respiratory rate are within normal limits for a newborn 2 hours old.
2. After the first bath, the temperature is rechecked. If the temperature falls below 97.7F, the nurse returns the newborn to the radiant warmer. The re-warming process is gradual, to prevent hypothermia.
