A nurse is assessing a postmature infant.Which of the following findings would the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A rationaleApplying petroleum jelly to the umbilical cord stump is discouraged as it may trap moisture, creating an environment conducive to bacterial growth. Dry cord care is preferred to reduce the risk of infection.Choice B rationaleWashing the cord daily with soap and water is unnecessary and could lead to irritation or prolonged drying time. The cord stump requires minimal handling to promote natural healing and detachment.Choice C rationaleGiving sponge baths ensures the cord stump remains dry, which is essential for preventing infection and expediting natural detachment. This method avoids soaking the stump, reducing the risk of maceration or bacterial colonization.Choice D rationaleCovering the umbilical cord stump with a diaper increases moisture retention, which can delay healing. Proper diaper placement below the stump is recommended to minimize irritation and promote airflow.
