ANS: C
A newborn loses up to 30 of body heat through the head and therefore needs to wear a cap to prevent heat loss. Temperature control mechanisms in newborns are immature and respond drastically to changes in the environment; do not increase the room temperature to 90 degrees. Take extra care to protect newborns from environmental temperatures. Provide adequate clothing; do not double the clothing or apply just a diaper.
