A macrosomic infant is born after a difficult forceps-assisted delivery. The APGAR scores are 7/9. After stabilization, the infant is measured. The birth weight is 4550 grams (9 pounds, 6 ounces) and 21 inches long. The nurse's most appropriate action is to:

Encourage early breastfeeding to promote maternal-infant bonding.

Prepare for immediate transfer to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Document the birth weight and continue routine care.

Monitor blood glucose levels per hospital policy and initiate feedings as soon as possible.
