Parents of an infant with slow weight gain ask the nurse if they can feed their baby a highly concentrated formula. An appropriate response given by the nurse would be:
1. "A higher-concentrated formula could lead to dehydration because of high sodium content; let's discuss other strategies."
2. "An undiluted formula concentrate could be given to help the child gain weight; let's look at brands."
3. "Evaporated milk could be given to the infant instead of the current formula you're using."
4. "A higher-concentrated formula could be given for daytime feedings; let's work on a schedule."

Rationale:
Parents and caregivers of bottle-fed babies should be taught never to give undiluted formula, concentrate, or evaporated milk, due to the high sodium content.
