Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isolette care provides a controlled thermal environment for very-low-birth-weight preterm infants, helping to prevent heat loss and maintain body temperature. Vitamin K administration and warm water baths are not directly related to preventing heat loss. Holding the newborn close, while beneficial for bonding and some warmth, is not the most effective method for preventing temperature loss in very-low-birth-weight preterm infants.
