A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a new mother about the purpose of administering vitamin K to her newborn following delivery.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse should explain that the purpose of administering vitamin K is to prevent which of the following complications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Vitamin K prevents bleeding (e.g., hemorrhagic disease) by aiding clotting, as newborns have low levels initially. It doesn't address bilirubin, potassium, or infection.

Question 4 of 5
This finding indicates the newborn is experiencing a complication related to which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Slight yellowing at 12 hours suggests physiologic jaundice, common in newborns as the liver matures to process bilirubin, typically peaking day 2-3. Blood incompatibility causes earlier, severe jaundice; cocaine or vitamin K issues don't typically cause this.
