Prevention of vitamin K deficiency is straightforward and highly effective:
1. Vitamin K Injection: The most common and effective method is to administer a single intramuscular injection of vitamin K (1 mg) shortly after birth. This practice is standard in many countries and has significantly reduced the incidence of VKDB. 2. Oral Vitamin K: In some cases, oral vitamin K can be administered. However, it is less effective than an injection and may require multiple doses.
