Feedback:
Four goals for immediate management of the newborn are to (1) establish and maintain an airway and respirations, (2) provide warmth and prevent hypothermia, (3) provide a safe environment and routine preventive measures, and (4) promote maternal–infant attachment. In some facilities, newborns receive a complete body bath and shampoo after they are stable and their body temperature is within normal limits, but this is not an immediate goal. Mongolian spots are a normal skin alteration and should be documented, but not reported.
