The significance of delayed cord clamping is to:
A. Prevent hypothermia
B. Decrease the incidence of anemia
C. Remove the crawling reflex
D. To allow good bacteria from the mother to penetrate the newly born
B. Decrease the incidence of anemia
The rationale of this intervention in the Essential Newborn Care is to prevent neonatal hypothermia and to increase colonization with
protective family bacteria:
A. Immediate drying
B. Delayed cord clamping
C. Uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact
D. Breastfeeding
C. Uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact
After catching a newborn full-term male, and placing him in the incubator, you noticed that the air-conditioning system was set to full and that the radiant warmer was not working. You are worried that the baby might develop hypothermia which might lead to following except?
A. Acidosis
B. Hypoglycemia
C. Hypoxemia
D. Increased renal excretion of water and solutes
E. NOTA

E. NOTA
All of the ff. is an effect of early skin to skin contact in newborn care except?

A child was delivered preterm via emergency CS to a 37-year-old primigravida because of fetal distress. Upon delivery, he was noted to be cyanotic on the extremities, HR 120/min, coughed when suctioned, with good tone and with regular respiration.
What is the APGAR score at 1 minute?
APGAR 9
The most important component of the APGAR score is the:
A. Heart rate
B. Activity
C. Respiration
D. Grimace
C. Respiration
The best description of the APGAR score is that it:
A. Accurately predicts who will develop cerebral palsy
B. Assesses neonates in need of resuscitation
C. Accurately predicts a low umbilical cord pH
D. Accurately predicts neonates who will die in the neonatal period
B. Assesses neonates in need of resuscitation
On what day of life is NBS done?
24-48 HOURS OF LIFE
