Maternal Newborn Nursing Certification Practice Test

Answer: B - When human milk is refrigerated it will last 5-8 days. When stored at room temperature it will last for 6-10 hours. If stored in a freezer inside of the refrigerator door, it will last 2 weeks; if it is in a self-defrosting freezer in a double door refrigerator, it will last 3 to 6 months. A deep freezer maintained at 0 degrees will safely store the human milk for 6 to12 months.
