Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

The correct answer is choice C.

Choice A rationale:

While it’s important to monitor a newborn’s glucose level, it’s not the immediate priority following birth.

Choice B rationale:

Placing the infant in the bassinet is not the immediate priority. The newborn needs to be dried and warmed first to prevent hypothermia.

Choice C rationale:

Drying the newborn and placing it skin-to-skin on the mother helps prevent hypothermia and promotes bonding. This is the immediate priority.

Choice D rationale:

A full head-to-toe assessment is important, but it’s not the immediate priority following birth.
