After a routine vaginal delivery, the infant transitions with the mother in the recovery room without difficulty
Prior to being discharged from the recovery room, it is noted that the infant's respiratory rate is 102 and the lungs are clear to auscultation. Based on these findings, an appropriate transfer for this infant would be to: 1. The newborn nursery for the first bath.
2. The NICU and placed under an over-bed warmer for observation.
3. To the mother's room to promote bonding with the parents.
4. The newborn nursery for its first feeding.

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