Newborn immediately following birth
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a newborn immediately following birth. After assuring a patent airway, what is the priority nursing action?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The priority nursing action after ensuring a patent airway for a newborn is to dry the skin. This helps prevent heat loss and maintain the newborn's body temperature, reducing the risk of hypothermia. Administering vitamin K and eye prophylaxis are important but not immediate priorities. Placing an identification bracelet can be done later and does not impact the newborn's immediate well-being. Drying the skin is crucial for the newborn's physiological stability and should be the initial focus of care.
