Answer:

The answer is letter B, keep him warm and ventilate with BVM.

Explanation:

In order to know more about the answer, let's check out the meaning of "Premature Baby" first.

Premature Baby- a baby born through premature birth <em>(fewer than 37 weeks).</em>  Babies are normally born at the usual <em>40 weeks.</em> Health problems may occur with premature babies, thus it is very important to monitor them.  

In the situation above, the premature baby's heart rate is only 90 beats/min. <em>A resting heart rate for a newborn infant is 130-150 beats per minute. </em>This means that the baby above has a slow heart rate. In order to increase the hear rate, it is important to keep the baby warm and to ventilate with a "Bag Valve Mask" (BVM). <u><em>An increase in internal temperature increases the heart rate. Increasing ventilation will also help increase the heart rate. </em></u>

<u><em>Remember: </em></u>Inhalation increases the heart rate.

Describe the division of the geologic time scale using terms eon epoch and period
timurjin [86]

The geologic time scale is referred to as the system of chronological dating which is related to geological strata to time. It is used by palaeontologists, geologists and earth scientists to describe the relationship of events and timing that occurs during Earth’s history. The primary division of time is defined as eons. Eons follow a sequence of the Archean, the Hadean and the Proterozoic which are referred as Precambrian superon.

Eons are divided into an era whereby those eras are subdivided into periods, ages, and epochs. Eon, epoch, period and ages correspond with eonothem, series, systems and stage which are mostly used to refer to layers of rock which then stretches to geologic time in the history of the earth.
