With regard to the nutrient needs of breastfed and formula-fed infants, nurses should be understand that:
a. Breastfed infants need extra water in hot climates.
b. During the first 3 months breastfed infants consume more energy than do formula-fed infants.
c. Breastfeeding infants should receive oral vitamin D drops daily at least during the first 2 months.
d. Vitamin K injections at birth are not needed for infants fed on specially enriched formula.
ANS: C
Human milk contains only small amounts of vitamin D. Neither breastfed nor formula-fed infants need to be given water, even in very hot climates. During the first 3 months formula-fed infants consume more energy than do breastfed infants and therefore tend to grow more rapidly. Vitamin K shots are required for all infants because the bacteria that produce it are absent from the baby's stomach at birth.
