Question 1 of 5
Shortly after delivery, the nursery nurse gives the newborn an injection of phytonadione (Vitamin K). The infant's grandmother wants to know why the baby got 'a shot in his leg.' Which response by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Vitamin K is used to prevent bleeding. Shortly after birth, newborns have low levels of Vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting. Administering phytonadione helps prevent a rare but serious condition called Vitamin K deficiency bleeding. Option A is incorrect as Vitamin K primarily supports blood clotting, not bone and muscle growth. Option B is incorrect as Vitamin K does not aid in digestion. Option C is incorrect as Vitamin K does not directly affect blood sugar stabilization.
