Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Placing the newborn under a radiant warmer is not directly related to addressing breastfeeding-related jaundice.

Choice B rationale:

Supplementing breastfeeding with formula is not the first-line approach and may interfere with establishing successful breastfeeding.

Choice C rationale:

Breastfeeding-related jaundice can occur if the newborn is not effectively breastfeeding and not getting enough milk. Assessing the effectiveness of breastfeeding is important to address the underlying cause of jaundice.

Choice D rationale:

Administering Rho(D) immune globulin is unrelated to addressing jaundice in a breastfed newborn.

A. "Your baby could be very large if you don't control your blood sugar level." B. "Your baby is at an increased risk for having high blood sugar levels after delivery." C. "You can expect to decrease your insulin dosage during the second and third trimesters. D. "You will have an increased risk for developing ketoacidosis during the first trimester."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Poorly controlled blood sugar levels can lead to fetal overgrowth (macrosomia), which increases the risk of a large baby during delivery.

Choice B rationale:

High blood sugar levels after delivery are not specific to babies born to mothers with type 1 diabetes.

Choice C rationale:

Insulin dosage requirements often increase during the second and third trimesters due to insulin resistance, not decrease.

Choice D rationale:

The risk of ketoacidosis is not typically increased in the first trimester; rather, the focus is on controlling blood sugar levels to minimize risks to the developing fetus.
