Which of the following is a risk factor for neonatal resuscitation?

Multiple gestation is indeed a significant risk factor for neonatal resuscitation. In pregnancies involving multiple fetuses, such as twins or triplets, the likelihood of complications during labor and delivery increases. These complications can include prematurity, low birth weight, and structural anomalies, all of which can affect the newborn's ability to transition successfully to extrauterine life. As a result, neonates from multiple gestations often require close monitoring and are at higher risk of needing resuscitation efforts immediately after birth.

Term pregnancies, while important for overall neonatal health, generally do not present the same level of risk for resuscitation compared to multiple gestations. Maternal age over 35 can lead to increased risks during pregnancy but does not directly correlate with the likelihood of needing immediate resuscitation for the newborn. Similarly, a history of prior cesarean section is related more to maternal risk factors and delivery planning rather than directly influencing the immediate need for neonatal resuscitation.
