Neonatal pertains to which population?

Explanation:
Neonatal refers to newborns—the period right after birth, specifically the first 28 days of life. This early stage is when babies make rapid transitions from intrauterine to external life and have distinct needs, such as breathing adaptation, temperature regulation, feeding, and early screening for issues like jaundice. The other groups are different population categories: the elderly are older adults, children refer to a broader pediatric range beyond the newborn stage, and adults encompass non-pediatric, non-neonatal ages.
