What age range defines a neonate?

  1. 0-28 days

  2. 1-12 months

  3. 1-2 years

  4. 2-12 years

The correct answer is: 0-28 days

A neonate is defined as a newborn baby up to 28 days old, which is why option A, 0-28 days, is the correct answer. This period is crucial as the neonatal stage is characterized by unique medical needs and challenges that require specialized care and attention. Options B, C, and D represent older age ranges that do not fall within the neonatal period and, therefore, are not correct.
