ANS: A
AquaMEPHYTON is given to newborns to promote normal blood clotting. The infant's intestinal tract is sterile at birth and does not have the bacteria needed to create vitamin K, a necessary component of normal clotting. Giving the infant an injection of vitamin K promotes blood clotting and prevents bleeding.
