a sign of infection in the cord stump would be:
a dried, blackened piece of tissue
redness or odour at the site
slight bleeding when the stump falls off
softening around the base of the cord

Explanation:

First Question (Infection Prevention)

To reduce infection, equipment should be rinsed in hot, soapy water or sterilized, not just cool water. So the statement is false.

Cultural norms influence physical touch for comfort. Different cultures have varying attitudes toward touch, so it should depend on the child’s culture. Thus, the statement is true.

• A dried, blackened stump is normal as it dries and falls off.
• Slight bleeding on falling off can be normal.
• Softening at the base isn't a typical infection sign.
• Redness or odour at the site indicates infection (inflammation, abnormal smell from bacteria).

Answer:

False
