Correct Answer is ["A","D","E","F"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Bottles can be put in the dishwasher, boiled, or cleaned with hot soapy water to ensure they are thoroughly sanitized and safe for the infant.

Choice B rationale

Holding the baby in a supine position during feedings is incorrect because it increases the risk of aspiration. The baby should be held in a semi-upright position.

Choice C rationale

Only burping the baby after they have finished the entire feeding is incorrect because it can lead to discomfort and gas buildup. The baby should be burped during and after feedings.

Choice D rationale

Always holding the bottle while feeding and not propping the bottle is correct as it prevents choking and ensures the baby is feeding safely.

Choice E rationale

Keeping the nipple full of formula throughout the feeding is correct as it prevents the baby from swallowing air, which can cause gas and discomfort.

Choice F rationale

Prepared formula can be kept in the refrigerator for 48 hours, ensuring it remains safe and free from bacterial growth.

A. Faint red marks on the plantar surface. B. Copious vernix. C. Dry, cracked skin. D. Scant scalp hair.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Faint red marks on the plantar surface are more common in preterm infants and are not typically seen in post-term infants.

Choice B rationale

Copious vernix is usually seen in preterm infants. Post-term infants often have little to no vernix.

Choice C rationale

Dry, cracked skin is a common finding in post-term infants due to prolonged exposure to the amniotic fluid.

Choice D rationale

Scant scalp hair is more common in preterm infants. Post-term infants usually have more developed hair.
