A normal newborn is admitted to the nursery and receives an injection of phytonadione. The father is watching the nurse administer the injection and asks the practical nurse (PN), "Will my baby get another injection before we can go home?" Which response is best for the PN to provide?

A. "This is the only required injection your baby has to receive while in the newborn nursery.": Incorrect, because newborns are often offered hepatitis B vaccination before discharge. B. "An immunization may be administered for hepatitis B and a consent form must be signed.": The hepatitis B vaccine is commonly given before discharge with parental consent. C. "If your newborn gets sick or has a complication, injectable therapy may be prescribed and given.": True, but does not directly address the father’s question about routine injections. D. "Blood specimens will be collected to test for glucose levels and if low, glucose injection is given.": Glucose testing is done for at-risk infants, but glucose is usually given orally or IV, not routinely by injection.
