true
false

Explanation:

When the umbilical cord prolapses, pushing it back into the vagina is not the correct action. Instead, immediate medical attention is required, and the person should try to relieve pressure on the cord (e.g., by having the mother assume a knee - chest position) until emergency medical help arrives. Pushing the cord back can cause further damage and compromise the baby's blood supply.

Answer:

B. False
