Question 1 of 5

Which intervention should be included in the home care of a high-risk infant?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: High-risk infants may require continued respiratory support and oxygen even after discharge. Feeding on a strict schedule is not necessary, and positioning the infant on the side or back is more appropriate. Cleaning the umbilical cord with alcohol several times a day is not recommended as it can delay healing and increase infection risk.
