a) Gently pull the cord to release it
b) Leave the cord in place
c) Clamp and cut the cord immediately

Answer 1

Leave the cord in place to avoid causing harm to the baby.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the cord is felt around the baby's neck, the appropriate action to take is b) Leave the cord in place. It is important not to pull or push the cord as it can cause harm to the baby. The cord will usually be double-clamped and cut after the baby is fully born, as part of the second stage of childbirth.
