The nurse is caring for a mother-infant dyad on the postpartum unit. The mother had delivered vaginally 24 hours ago, and the baby has had normal assessments since birth. This morning the nurse notes the infant is lethargic and her temperature is below normal. The mother reports the infant is not breastfeeding well and has spit up the small amount of breast milk that had been ingested. Which is the best action the nurse will take next based on this information? Feed the infant formula to accurately determine how much intake the infant is getting. Reassure the mother that infants are often sluggish this soon after birth. Determine if there is jaundice over the thoracic and abdominal area. Assess for signs of sepsis and report these assessments to the physician.
