    In examining the umbilical cord we should see the presence of

    • Two veins and one artery

    • Two arteries and one vein

    • One vein and one artery

    • Three veins

    Correct Answer
    A. Two arteries and one vein
    Explanation
    The umbilical cord is responsible for carrying nutrients and oxygen to the fetus from the placenta and removing waste products. It consists of two arteries and one vein. The arteries carry deoxygenated blood and waste products away from the fetus, while the vein carries oxygenated blood and nutrients to the fetus. This arrangement ensures a proper exchange of gases and nutrients between the fetus and the placenta, supporting the development and growth of the baby.

    Explanation
    Cord care is completed every diaper change per facility protocol.

    Explanation
    The human newborn cannot maintain his or hew temperature independently but requires protection against heat loss in the form of warm dry blankets, hats, warmth of mother's body, or a warmer. These measures help to provide insulation and prevent the baby from losing body heat to the surrounding environment. The blankets and hats act as barriers to keep the baby warm, while the warmth of the mother's body provides additional heat through skin-to-skin contact. In cases where the baby's temperature drops significantly, a warmer may be used to provide a controlled source of heat to maintain a stable body temperature.

This temperature range indicates that the newborn's body temperature is within the normal range, ensuring that they are not too cold or too hot. Giving the first bath at this point helps maintain the baby's body temperature and promotes their comfort and well-being.

These steps ensure that the baby is kept warm and comfortable during the bath, and that all necessary items are readily available for use.
