When assessing a newborn baby
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should observe standard precautions when handling a neonate until all blood and amniotic fluid has been removed to avoid possible infection. Then the nurse can take the baby and suction the babys mouth and then the nares if needed. Auscultating the babys heart and lungs will occur later. The parents may not name the baby immediately but even if they have recording the name would not take priority over using standard precautions to prevent the spread of disease.
