Feedback
1. The swaddling will introduce material onto the omphalocele and dry out the area, increasing the risk for infection.
2. Nonnutritive sucking will soothe the neonate.
3. IV access will be needed to maintain a fluid balance because of the NPO status.
4. Keeping the omphalocele moist and warm will help keep the body stable.
