If assisting in a prehospital delivery while off-duty,which of the following would be the BEST choice for tying or clamping the umbilical cord?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pair of shoelaces would be the best choice for tying or clamping the umbilical cord as they are clean and can be easily tied securely around the cord. Wire coat hangers may not be clean and could cause injury to the newborn, white cotton thread may not be strong enough to tie the cord securely, and a clothespin could crush the cord and cause bleeding.
