ANS: C
Very premature infants present moral and ethical dilemmas regarding their care. According to the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, infants born at less than 23 weeks' gestation or weighing less than 400 g are not candidates for resuscitation. The nurse should plan to admit this infant for comfort care only. The other options are not warranted.
