Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

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