    While instructing a new mother on formula preparations, the nurse would include what types? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Concentrated liquid formula: This type requires mixing with a specific amount of water before feeding. It is commercially prepared, nutritionally complete, and convenient for parents who need a balance between storage and preparation ease. B. Powdered formula: Powdered formula is one of the most common types, requiring reconstitution with water. It is cost-effective, easy to store, and provides complete nutrition when prepared according to manufacturer instructions. C. Ready-to-feed formula: This formula is pre-mixed and does not require water, making it the most convenient and safest option when sanitation or water quality is a concern. It is particularly useful for hospital or travel use. D. Cow's milk: Cow’s milk is not recommended for infants under 12 months because it lacks essential nutrients like adequate iron, vitamin E, and fatty acids, and can stress immature kidneys. E. Canned evaporated milk: Evaporated milk is not nutritionally complete for infants and requires supplementation. It is not a standard formula and is generally not recommended for infant feeding without modification and guidance from a healthcare provider.
