Answer:

A baby born at 36 weeks' gestation was apneic after birth and required positive-pressure ventilation and oxygen supplementation in the delivery room. He continues to require supplemental oxygen after birth. Which of the following statements is true?

Step-by-step explanation:

Ventilation will begin in the presence of apnea or breathing in mouthfuls, or if the heart rate is less than 100 beats / min even though breathing has started.

Therefore and according to the previous explanation, if the baby still needs supplemental oxygen, it will continue to be administered also after the delivery room.
