The neonatal nurse on duty is examining baby Mark. Why should the neonatal nurse be very gentle with baby Mark’s neck?
  1. He can't support his neck
  2. He can't rotate his head freely
  3. His neck is weak
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - The neonatal nurse should be very gentle with baby Mark’s neck because baby Mark’s neck is weak, he can’t support his neck and he can’t rotate his head freely. This is very common for neonates as the neonatal nurse can cause permanent damage to the neck if they are not careful and gentle.
