A. Conduction heat loss is a problem in the baby. B. Axillary temperatures are not accurate. C. This is a normal temperature. D. The supply of brown adipose tissue is not developed.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Conduction heat loss typically occurs through direct contact with a cooler surface, but in this scenario, the baby is under a radiant warmer, reducing the likelihood of conduction heat loss.
B. Axillary temperatures are generally accurate for newborns when measured properly.
C. A normal temperature for a neonate is between 97 and 99 degrees F (36 to 37 degrees C).
D. Brown adipose tissue is a specialized type of fat that generates heat by metabolizing fatty acids. It is abundant in full-term neonates, but scarce in preterm neonates, especially those born before 34 weeks' gestation. Therefore, preterm neonates have less ability to maintain their body temperature and are prone to hypothermia.
