(D). Although oral vitamin K (birth, discharge, 3-4 wk: 1-2 mg) has been suggested as an alternative, oral vitamin K is less effective in preventing the late onset of bleeding due to vitamin K deficiency and thus cannot be recommended for routine therapy. The intramuscular route remains the method of choice.
