Practice Question
A nurse is caring for an infant who is drinking a cow's milk formula and has bloody stools. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make to the infant's guardian?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Switch to a soy-based formula.
Rationale:
🍼 Bloody stools in an infant drinking cow's milk formula may indicate a cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA), which can cause intestinal inflammation and bleeding.
🍼 Switching to a soy-based formula is a common first-line alternative for infants with CMPA who are not breastfed, as it avoids bovine proteins that trigger the allergic response.
🍼 Goat’s milk, condensed milk, and unpasteurized milk are not safe alternatives for infants—they lack essential nutrients, may still contain cross-reactive proteins, and pose infection risks.
🍼 The nurse’s recommendation should aim to reduce GI irritation, prevent further bleeding, and support proper infant nutrition and growth.
