The nurse is planning to reinforce instructions about cord care to a new mother. The nurse should plan to tell the mother which about cord care?

 1. Alcohol is the only agent used to clean the cord. 2. It takes 21 days for the cord to dry up and fall off. 3. Cord care is done only at birth to control bleeding. 4. The process of keeping the cord clean and dry will decrease bacterial growth.
