Answer:

Documenting an intact reflex.

Explanation:

Reflex action may be defined as the sudden change in the action against the stimulation. This might cause the muscle contraction and the movement of the particular body parts.

The first response describe in the question is the startle reflex that might result in the decrease in the stimulus due to its repetition. Initially, the response is rapid but later decreases. This is known as habituation and quite important to understand the behavior of the infant.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A.

Explanation:

The primary response in this case by nurse should be observing the reflection of the startle reflexes that is is the brainstem reflectory reaction, that shows the rapid and random moments, when there is repetitive stimulus present.

So, the correct response would be documenting the intact reflexes. Habituation is known as the lowering in response, it is not necessary as it is noisy room and infants response is on the noise.

Thus, the correct answer is - option A.

Alja [10]
Drugs interfere with the way neurons send, receive, and process signals via neurotransmitters. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter in the body.
