Answer to Question 1

B
Early and frequent breastfeeding helps manage early physiologic jaundice, because colostrum is a natural laxative and promotes the excretion of meconium and bilirubin, thus decreasing bilirubin levels.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. Applying miconazole for 10 days does not prevent or assist in treating vulvovaginal candidiasis.
2. Douching daily does not prevent or assist in treating vulvovaginal candidiasis.
3. Yogurt helps prevent recurrence of bacterial infections.
4. Wearing nylon panties does not prevent or assist in treating vulvovaginal candidiasis.
