Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Yellow stools are normal in breastfed infants and do not indicate a problem with nutrition. The nurse should reassure the mother that this is a normal occurrence and inquire if there are any other reasons she feels she should stop breastfeeding. This encourages the mother to continue breastfeeding and seek further information if she has any concerns.
