Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eye prophylaxis medication is typically delayed for about 1 hour after birth to allow time for the family to bond with the newborn without interference. Immediate procedures like drying the newborn and assessing vital signs are essential for the newborn's well-being and are done promptly. Vitamin K injection is also important but does not interfere significantly with bonding and can be administered shortly after birth.
