By knowing about variations in infants' blood count, nurses can explain to their patients that
 
  a. A somewhat lower than expected red blood cell count could be the result of delay
  in clamping the umbilical cord.
  b. The early high white blood cell count (WBC) is normal at birth and should
  decrease rapidly.
  c. Platelet counts are higher than in adults for a few months.
  d. Even a modest vitamin K deficiency means a problem with the blood's ability to
  clot properly.

A Delayed clamping of the cord results in an increase in hemoglobin and the red
blood cell count.
B The WBC is high the first day of birth and then declines rapidly.
C The platelet count essentially is the same for newborns and adults.
D Clotting is sufficient to prevent hemorrhage unless the vitamin K deficiency is
significant.
