Question 1 of 5

A new parent is concerned because their newborn's stools are loose and yellow. The healthcare provider should explain that this is:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Loose, yellow stools are a normal finding in breastfed infants. Breastfed infants often have loose, yellow stools due to the composition of breast milk. It is not typically a sign of dehydration, infection, or lactose intolerance in this context.

Question 2 of 5

The caregiver is teaching a new mother about infant safety. Which statement indicates that further teaching is needed?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Allowing a baby to sleep in an adult bed increases the risk of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It is safer for infants to sleep on a firm, flat surface in their own crib or bassinet to reduce the risk of accidental suffocation or strangulation. Therefore, the caregiver should be advised against co-sleeping with the infant to ensure the baby's safety.

Correct Answer: A
