The newborn delivered at term is being discharged. The parents are asking the nurse how to keep their baby warm. The nurse knows additional teaching is necessary if the parent states:
1. "A quick cool bath will help wake up my son for feedings."
2. "I can check my son's temperature under his arm."
3. "My baby should be dressed warmly, with a hat."
4. "Cuddling my son will help to keep him warm."

Rationale:
1. Cool baths will chill a newborn, and should not be given.
2. The axilla is the preferred site for checking a newborn's temperature.
3. Adequate clothing is needed to keep an infant warm. A hat helps prevent heat loss through the head.
4. Cuddling, either through blankets and clothing or skin-to-skin contact, will help an infant maintain his body temperature.
