Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The correct answer is choice C.

Choice A rationale:

Sitz baths cause perineal vasodilation, not vasoconstriction, and this does not directly affect bleeding.

Choice B rationale:

The duration of a sitz bath does not necessarily correlate with its therapeutic effect.

Choice C rationale:

Sitz baths increase the blood supply to the perineal area, promoting healing and providing relief from discomfort.

Choice D rationale:

Sitz baths do not increase the risk of postpartum infection when done properly.

A. There is a loss of 5% to 10% of the birth weight in the first few days in breastfed infants only. B. There is an increase in 3% to 5% of birth weight by day 3 in formula-fed babies. C. There is a loss of 5% to 10% of birth weight in formula-fed and breastfed newborns. D. A formula-fed newborn should gain 3% to 5% of the initial birth weight in the first 48 hours, but a breastfed newborn may lose up to 3%.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The correct answer is choice C.

Choice A rationale:

While it’s true that breastfed infants may lose 5% to 10% of their birth weight in the first few days, this is not exclusive to breastfed infants.

Choice B rationale:

Formula-fed babies may gain weight more quickly than breastfed babies, but they do not typically show an increase in weight by day 3.

Choice C rationale:

Both formula-fed and breastfed newborns can lose 5% to 10% of their birth weight in the first few days.

Choice D rationale:

While formula-fed newborns may gain weight more quickly than breastfed newborns, they do not typically gain 3% to 5% of the initial birth weight in the first 48 hours.
