Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kangaroo care involves holding a bare-chested neonate against a bare-chested parent, providing skin-to-skin contact, warmth, and breast milk stimulation, which have been shown to have many benefits for neonatal health and development. Option A, tucking the neonate into the front of a parent's shirt, is not specifically kangaroo care because it would not provide skin-to-skin contact. Option C, forming a pouch from a blanket, and option D, placing the neonate in a sling, are not the usual methods for kangaroo care.
