Answer to Question 1
Answer: D
The nurse needs to plan for a neutral thermal environment to minimize oxygen consumption, prevent cold stress, and facilitate growth of the preterm infant. To do this, the nurse should plan for the infant to have skin-to-skin contact with the mother to maintain warmth. The hands should be rinsed with warm water before providing care to the infant. The baby's head should be covered because the head is 25 of the baby's size and is prone to evaporative heat loss. Incubators should be moved away from drafts or open windows to reduce radiative and conductive heat loss.
