Correct Answer is C, A, D, B

Explanation

Drying the baby is the most important first step to prevent heat loss and initiate thermoregulation. Suctioning is needed if there are signs of airway obstruction but is secondary to ensuring the baby’s warmth. Applying identification bracelets is necessary to ensure proper identification but is not as critical as ensuring the baby is warm and breathing. Teaching the mother cord care can be done after addressing more immediate concerns such as warmth and identification.

A. May 1 B. July 8 C. January 22 D. January 23

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. May 1 is not correct; this would be too early by several months.

B. July 8 is not correct; this date is too far out for the due date based on the LMP provided.

C. To calculate the due date using Naegele's rule, you add 7 days to the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) and then subtract 3 months. Given: LMP: April 15th Step 1: Add 7 days to the LMP: April15th + 7 days= April 22nd Step 2: Subtract 3 months: April22nd – 3 months = January 22nd

D. January 22 is close but not the correct date by the standard calculation of 280 days.
