Newborn's parent
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newborn's parent to care for the umbilical cord stump. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Give a sponge bath until the cord stump falls off. This is correct because keeping the cord dry helps prevent infection. Washing the cord daily with soap and water (option
B) can actually delay healing. Covering the cord with the diaper (option
A) can also trap moisture and lead to infection. Applying petroleum jelly (option
C) can create a moist environment that promotes bacterial growth.
