Answer to Question 1

C
Vitamin K prevents potential bleeding until the neonate's intestinal tract develops its intestinal flora. Vitamin K does not act on bilirubin levels or stimulate growth of intestinal flora, but rather prevents potential bleeding until the neonate's intestinal tract develops its intestinal flora. Vitamin K does not promote absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. A positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) indicates that the client is infectious and could transmit the infection to the fetus through contact with blood and body fluids during labor and birth.
2. Hepatitis B is not related to anemia.
3. High blood pressure is not related to hepatitis B.
4. Hepatitis B is an infection, and is not a blood type.
