a. To decrease the risk of infection, the eyes should be cleaned from the inner to the outer canthus.
b. Keeping doors open can cause a drop in baby's temperature by convection.
c. If items must be obtained while the bath is being given, the baby may become hypothermic from evaporation resulting from exposure to the air when wet.
d. The safest way to check the temperature is with a thermometer or, if none, with the elbow or forearm.
