Answer to Question 2

Cord separation time is influenced by a number of factors, including type of cord care, type of birth, and other perinatal events. Some dried blood may be seen at the umbilicus at separa-tion. Current recommendations for cord care (AWHONN) include cleaning the cord initially with sterile water and subsequently with clean water.
