Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A Nursing actions are needed first to correct the problem. If the problem persists
after interventions, notification may then be necessary.
B A cap will prevent further heat loss from the head, and having the mother place
the infant skin-to-skin should increase the infant's temperature.
C A slightly decreased temperature can be treated in the mother's room. This
would be an excellent time for parent teaching on prevention of cold stress.
D Mild temperature instability is an expected deviation from normal during the
first days as the infant adapts to external life.
