Question 4 of 5
The nurse assigned to the care of newborn infants understands the importance of keeping these infants swaddled in a warm blanket to prevent heat loss. Why is this important in the care of the newborn?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Swaddling newborn infants in a warm blanket is important to prevent heat loss (hypothermia) because when babies become chilled, they must produce more heat to maintain a normal body temperature. This increased heat production leads to higher oxygen needs, which can be detrimental to newborns who may already have limited reserves.
Therefore, keeping newborn infants swaddled in a warm blanket helps to maintain their body temperature within a normal range and prevents unnecessary stress on their bodies.
