A new mother states that her infant must be cold because the baby's hands and feet are blue. The nurse explains that this is a common and temporary condition called:

Acrocyanosis, which is a normal finding in newborns due to immature peripheral circulation.

Central cyanosis, which requires immediate intervention and supplemental oxygen.

Mottling, which is often a sign of cold stress or instability in the infant.

Jaundice, which is caused by an excess of bilirubin in the blood.
