As the nurse assists a new mother with breastfeeding, the mother asks, If formula is prepared to meet the nutritional needs of the newborn, what is in breast milk that makes it better?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Breast milk contains immunoglobulins that protect the newborn against infection. Calcium levels are higher in formula than breast milk. This higher level can cause an excessively high renal solute load if the formula is not diluted properly. The calorie counts of formula and breast milk are about the same. All the essential amino acids are in formula and breast milk. The concentrations may differ.
