You would expect to find these devices in which area of a hospital? Radiant warmers and incubators?

• A. Intensive Care Unit
• B. Labor and Delivery (L&D)/ Nurseries
• C. Operating Room
• D. Emergency Department

Answer: (B)

Newborn care equipment like radiant warmers and incubators is placed where babies are cared for immediately after birth and during their early stay—the Labor and Delivery area and nurseries. Radiant warmers provide quick, direct heat to prevent the newborn from losing body warmth, while incubators offer a controlled environment with stable temperature, humidity, and sometimes oxygen to support thermoregulation and respiratory needs for at‑risk infants. Other areas such as the Intensive Care Unit, Operating Room, or Emergency Department aren’t typically equipped for routine newborn care, so they’re less appropriate settings for these devices.
