<h2>The initial nursing intervention should be as following: </h2>

Applying a sterilized saline gauze serves to restrict infection while retaining the membranes moistened. Although charging for paralysis should be made though this is not the preference. Usage of antibiotics is not administered prophylactically. After this procedure, the newborn requires extra routine attention due to the outpouching of the meninges.

Applying sterile, moist nonadherent dressings is done to prevent drying and breakage of the sac; any opening increases the risk for infection of the central nervous system. Diapering is contraindicated until the defect is repaired; the diaper may irritate the sac and cause rupture, predisposing the infant to infection. The infant is generally placed in a neutral position to reduce pressure on the affected area. The legs are abducted to counteract subluxation because the infant is unable to move the legs.

The balance or lack of balance between accumulation and wastage is called ________. group of answer choices glacial trough glaci
Roman55 [17]

Glacial balance is the balance or imbalance between accumulation at the top of the glacier and loss or disposal at the bottom.

Glaciers (US: /ˈɡleɪʃər/; UK: /ˈɡlæsiər, ˈɡleɪsiər/) are thick masses of ice that are constantly moving under their own weight. Glaciers form where snow cover has outpaced erosion for years, sometimes centuries.

As it flows slowly and deforms under its own weight, it takes on features such as cracks and shellac.

As they move, they erode rocks and debris from their roots, forming features such as cirques, moraines, and fjords. Glaciers can flow into bodies of water, but they form only on land, unlike the much thinner sea and lake ice that forms on the surface of bodies of water.
