Explanation

Statement	Include	Not Include
"Your baby needs to be repositioned every 2 to 3 hours while under the lights."	✅
"Your baby's eyes will be covered with an eye shield during therapy."	✅
"Avoid applying lotion to your baby's skin."	✅
"Keep a hat on your baby during treatment."		✅
"We will give your baby glucose water between breast feedings.		✅
"Bilirubin is primarily excreted through the stool."	✅
The treatment lights can cause a transient skin rash on your baby."	✅
The treatment lights emit a significant amount of ultraviolet radiation.		✅

Repositioning every 2 to 3 hours exposes different skin areas to light, enhancing bilirubin breakdown and preventing pressure sores.
Eye shields protect the newborn’s eyes from damage caused by bright phototherapy lights.
Avoiding lotion prevents skin irritation or burns and ensures effective light penetration during treatment.
Keeping a hat on blocks light exposure to the scalp, reducing the effectiveness of phototherapy.
Glucose water is not recommended; feeding with breast milk or formula helps promote bilirubin elimination through stools.
Bilirubin is mainly excreted through the stool after being converted into a water-soluble form by phototherapy.
Phototherapy can cause a mild, temporary rash, which is harmless but important to inform parents about.
Phototherapy lights emit blue light, not harmful ultraviolet radiation, making them safe for newborn treatment.
