A) provide phototherapy for 30 minutes q8h

B) Feed the newborn with sterile water hourly

C) encourage the mother to breast-feed frequently

D) assess the newborns blood glucose level - ANS C) encourage the mother to
breast feed frequently



Rationale: breast milk provides calories and enhances G.I. motility, which will
assist the bowel in eliminating bilirubin. The total bilirubin level is 6 to 12 mg/dL
after day one of life. The infant’s bilirubin level is beginning to climb, and the
infant should be monitored to prevent further complications.

sucking

D) provide formula for the infant until he becomes calm and then offer the breast again -
ANS C) encourage the mother to stop feeding for a few minutes and comfort the
infant

timeout. The mother should be encouraged to comfort the infant and to relax
herself. After such a timeout, breast-feeding is often more successful.

intervention is to encourage fluids to rehydrate the patient.
