Incubator occupant in a neonatal unit
Answer:
INFANT
Hint:
Think of the youngest patient in a hospital nursery, often wrapped in a blanket and monitored closely. This term can also describe a very young child in general.
Explanation:
This clue points to a newborn baby, specifically one in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). "Incubator" is a device that keeps premature or sick infants warm and safe, so the "occupant" would naturally be an "infant." The term is straightforward here—no wordplay or hidden meanings—just a direct reference to the youngest patients in a hospital’s neonatal ward.
