Phototherapy uses specific wavelengths of light to break down unconjugated bilirubin in the skin so it can be excreted, helping to prevent neurological damage from severe hyperbilirubinemia.

Nurses must carefully measure irradiance levels, choose appropriate light sources based on the infant's condition, and closely monitor infants receiving phototherapy to ensure safety and effectiveness of treatment.
