The nurse is calling a new mother to schedule a routine home visit planned for 48 to 72 hours after discharge. What is the nurse's priority question to help determine the best time for the visit?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The priority question is to determine when the mother will be nursing the baby to observe a feeding session, especially if she is breastfeeding. This helps assess milk supply, adequacy of breastfeeding, and provide support. The other options are not as crucial for determining the best time for the visit.

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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because SGA infants are defined as below the tenth percentile in growth when compared with other infants of the same gestational age. SGA is not defined by weight. Infants born before 38 weeks are classified as preterm. There are many factors that contribute to the development of an SGA infant, not just placental malfunction.

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.
