A newborn is most interested in eating in which wake and sleep state?
Correct Answer: D

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a new mother about the purpose of administering vitamin K to her newborn following delivery. The nurse should explain that the purpose of administering vitamin K is to prevent which of the following complications?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Vitamin K prevents bleeding (hemorrhagic disease of the newborn) by aiding clotting factor synthesis, as newborns have low vitamin K levels. It does not prevent infection, hyperbilirubinemia, or potassium deficiency.
