Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is : The people included in the training must be present at each delivery and must also be able to care for the baby.

Explanation: The person who is called to attend the newborn is to ask these questions before resuscitation: Is the baby pregnant at the end? Does the baby breathe or cry? Does the baby have a good tone? After performing the resuscitation should be checked: the breaths, the heart rate, to see if the resuscitation was effective.

Answer 2

For every delivery, someone capable of initiating resuscitation should be present at every delivery and available to care for the baby. The initial steps of resuscitation are to provide warmth, position head to open the airway, dry and stimulate. If most of the skilled people have additional responsibilities in each delivery room you should start to recruit additional help when it is anticipated the likely need for more advanced resuscitation base on the presence of any of the known perinatal risk factors.
