Document Content and Description Below
An extremely premature infant nearing discharge has an elevated alkaline phosphatase level. What should the nurse include in discharge education? A. Avoid kangaroo care B. Handle the infant as car... efully as possible C. Recommend a soy-based formula - ANS-B. Handle the infant as carefully as possible.

A soy-based formula will not positively affect metabolic bone disease and may be nutritionally inferior to what the infant is receiving. [Show More]
