d. 10minutes
answer is C 3-5minutes

Answer 1

c. 3-5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first and foremost, do not wrap the heel warmer with any additional heat source, such as a warm washcloth.

Use the device for 3 to 5 minutes or as directed by the manufacturer and monitor the application site continually, at least every 30 seconds, to avoid burns when using the warmer with premature infants.
