The visiting nurse evaluates a 2-day-old breastfed newborn at home and notes that the baby appears jaundiced. When explaining jaundice to the parents, the nurse would tell them:
 
  1. Jaundice is nothing to worry about.
  2. Some newborns require phototherapy.
  3. Jaundice is a medical emergency.
  4. Jaundice is always a sign of liver disease.
