After baby Dawn's mother visits, the neonatal nurse finds her in animal print cotton blanket and cyanotic. What should she do?

Check her airway
Check the umbilical stump for bleeding
Check her temperature
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.
