Question 3 of 5

Following delivery, the nurse places the newborn under a radiant heat warmer. Which of the following is this action used to prevent?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Cold stress in newborns can lead to increased oxygen consumption and energy expenditure as the body tries to maintain its temperature.
