Choice A rationale Placing a newborn on the parent's stomach and covering with a warm blanket helps to regulate body temperature through skin-to-skin contact, which is essential for newborns, especially shortly after birth. Choice B rationale Rectal temperature checks are not recommended for newborns due to the risk of rectal perforation. Newborn temperatures are typically monitored using axillary (underarm) methods. Choice C rationale Keeping a newborn’s head covered helps to prevent heat loss, as a significant amount of body heat can be lost through the head. This practice is crucial in maintaining the newborn's body temperature. Choice D rationale Newborns should be kept away from drafts, including fans and air conditioning vents, to prevent them from becoming too cold. Keeping the bassinet away from these can help maintain a stable temperature.
