degrees F). Since this newborn's temperature is significantly lower, the nurse should
institute measures to rewarm the newborn gradually. Assessment of gestational age is
completed regardless of the newborn's temperature. Observation would be
inappropriate because lack of action may lead to a further lowering of the temperature.
The nurse should notify the physician of the newborn's current temperature since it is
outside normal parameters.
