After baby Dawn's mother visits, the neonatal nurse finds her in animal print cotton blanket and cyanotic. What should she do?
  1. Check her airway
  2. Check the umbilical stump for bleeding
  3. Check her temperature
  4. Check her heart rate
Explanation
Answer: C - The neonatal nurse finding baby Dawn wrapped in an animal print cotton blanket and cyanotic should immediately check baby Dawn’s temperature. The reason for this is neonates are highly susceptible to hypothermia and a cotton blanket is likely insufficient to keep baby Dawn appropriately heated this early in life.
