Explanation:
1. The newborn is tachypneic. Bathing will only add to the respiratory distress and should be avoided.
2. This newborn needs to remain under constant observation due to the respiratory rate.
3. The newborn needs to be monitored.
4. With a respiratory rate this high, aspiration is likely so feeding should be avoided.
