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.

A. birthweight of 7 lb, 14 oz (3,572 g) B. strong, brisk motor skills C. difficulty in arousing to a quiet alert state D. wasted appearance of extremities

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. A birthweight above the 90th percentile for gestational age is characteristic of large-for-gestational-age newborns. The above birth weight is within the normal ranges.
B. Strong, brisk motor skills are not necessarily indicative of being large-for- gestational-age.
C. Large-for-gestational-age newborns. They may have difficulty in arousing to a quiet alert state due to hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, or polycythemia.
D. A wasted appearance of extremities is more indicative of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) rather than being large-for-gestational-age. LGA newborns typically have plump and rosy appearance.
