Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Cord care is to prevent infection and add in the drying of the cord.
B No agents are necessary to facilitate drying of the cord.
C The cord will fall off within 10 to 14 days.
D Bacterial growth increases in a moist environment, so keeping the umbilical cord

growth over time. The child's growth pattern can be elicited from the history.
C Documentation of parental concerns is not as relevant to the physical
examination as an accurate history.

problems.
