A breastfeeding mother asks the postpartum nurse if any supplementation is necessary once her breast milk comes in. What is the nurse's most appropriate response?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because recent studies have shown that breast milk is low in vitamin D, and supplementation with 400 IU is recommended. This is important for infants who are not exposed to the sun or have dark skin, as they are at risk for insufficient vitamin D. While a well-balanced diet is important for the mother's health, it does not address the need for vitamin D supplementation in breastfed infants. Asking about the mother's concerns or abilities does not provide the necessary information about vitamin D supplementation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Turning the infant every 2 hours can increase the effectiveness of phototherapy in reducing indirect bilirubin levels. This intervention helps expose all parts of the skin to the phototherapy. The other options either do not directly impact bilirubin reduction or may hinder the effectiveness of phototherapy.
