Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Using a disposable razor for shaving while taking warfarin can increase the risk of cuts and bleeding, which should be avoided due to the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.

Choice B rationale

Oral contraceptives should not be taken while on warfarin because they can increase the risk of blood clots, counteracting the effect of the anticoagulant.

Choice C rationale

Stopping warfarin in 2 weeks is incorrect advice, as the duration of therapy varies depending on the condition being treated and the individual's response to the medication.

Choice D rationale

Taking 650 milligrams of aspirin for leg discomfort is not advised while on warfarin, as aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding by affecting platelet function and the blood clotting process.

A. Each feeding should last between 20 and 30 minutes. B. Prepared formula can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. C. Refrigerate formula from a feeding for up to 4 hours for reuse. D. Wait until the end of the feeding to burp your baby.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Each feeding should last between 20 and 30 minutes to ensure the baby gets enough nutrition and to facilitate bonding time.

Choice B rationale

Prepared formula should be used within 24 hours if stored in the refrigerator, not 5 days, to prevent bacterial growth and ensure the baby's safety.

Choice C rationale

Formula left at room temperature should not be refrigerated for reuse; it can develop bacteria that may harm the baby.

Choice D rationale

It is recommended to burp the baby multiple times during feeding to release swallowed air and prevent discomfort or spitting up.
