2. Begin diluted fruit juice at 2 months of age, but wait 3 to 5 days before trying a new food.

supplemental foods earlier does not promote sleep.

breastfed. Which is the priority nutrient for the nurse to include in the teaching session?
1. Iron
2. Vitamin D
3. Calcium
4. Fluoride
2. This infant will have limited exposure to sunlight due to decreased sun exposure in the fall and winter months. The limited sun exposure combined with
the infant's dark skin means the infant may need additional vitamin D.

regarding weight gain? 1. "Y our baby's weight should triple by 9 months of age."
2. "Your baby's weight should double by 5 months of age."

4. "Your baby's weight should double by 1 year of age."

The nurse is teaching the parents of a 4-month-old infant about good feeding habits. Which is the rationale for not letting
the baby go to sleep with the bottle?
1. To decrease the risk for aspiration
2. To decrease the risk for dental caries
3. To decrease the risk for malocclusion problems
4. To decrease the risk for sleeping disorders
2. Infants should not be put to bed with a bottle as this increases the risk for developing dental caries.
A vegetarian adolescent is placed on iron supplementation secondary to a diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia. Which will
the nurse encourage the adolescent to drink when taking the daily iron supplement?
1. Orange juice
2. Black or green tea
3. Milk
4. Tomato juice
1. Acidity increases absorption of iron. The nurse is presenting a program on healthy eating habits to the parents of children attending the clinic. Which parental
comment indicates the need for more information about safe food preparation?
1. "W e always wash our hands well before any food preparation."
2. "W e use separate utensils for preparing raw meat and for preparing fruits, vegetables, and other foods."
3. "W e take the meat out of the freezer and then allow it to thaw on the counter for 2 to 3 hours before cooking it
thoroughly ."
4. "If our baby doesn't drink all the formula in his bottle, we throw the rest out."
3. Allowing meat to sit out on a counter can cause the bacteria counts to increase quickly , and cooking the meat might not ef fectively destroy all of the
bacteria. Frozen meat should be thawed in the refrigerator prior to cooking.
During a 4-month-old infant's well-child checkup, the nurse discusses introduction of solid foods into the infant's diet.
Although the nurse recommends delaying the introduction of many foods into the diet, which food(s) will the nurse discuss
delaying because they increase the risk for food allergy?
1. Honey
2. Carrots, beets, and spinach
3. Pork
4. Cow's milk, eggs, and peanuts

The parents of a 2.5-year-old boy are concerned about their child's finicky eating habits. While counseling the parents,
which statements by the nurse would be accurate? Select all that apply .
1. "Nutritious foods should be made available at all times of the day so that the child is able to 'graze' whenever he is
hungry ."
2. "The child is experiencing physiologic anorexia, which is normal for this age group."
3. "A general guideline for food quantity at a meal is one quarter cup of each food per year of age."
4. "It is more appropriate to assess a toddler's nutritional demands over a 1-week period rather than a 24-hour one."
5. "The toddler should drink 16 to 24 ounces of milk daily ."
2. Physiologic anorexia is caused when the extremely high metabolic demands of infancy slow to keep pace with the slower growth of toddler hood, and it
is a very normal finding at this age.
4. It is not unusual for toddlers to have food jags where they only want one or two food items for that day . So it is more helpful to look at what their intake
has been over a week instead of a day .
5. Two to three cups of milk per day are suf ficient for a toddler; more than that can decrease his desire for other foods and lead to dietary deficiencies.
Children should sit at the table while eating to encourage socialization skills
The mother of a 6-week-old male infant tells the nurse that her baby has had colic for several days, crying for up to 3
hours and drawing his legs up on his abdomen. The mother says she is at "wits end" and wonders what she can do. The
nurse learns that the infant is being formula-fed and gaining weight satisfactorily . Which recommendations will the nurse
make based on the current data? Select all that apply .
1. Breastfeeding the infant
2. Switching to a bottle that has a collapsible bag inside
3. Putting the infant in a baby swing after feeding
4. Burping the baby more frequently
5. Giving the baby a suppository once each morning
2. This would reduce the amount of air that the baby swallows.
3. The motion may reduce the abdominal discomfort.
4. This helps the infant expel gas, which is a factor contributing to colic.
An adolescent is admitted to the eating disorders unit with a 2-year history of anorexia nervosa. Assessment data indicate
that the adolescent has recently sustained additional weight loss and electrolyte imbalances. Which is the priority when
planning care for this client?
1. Individual counseling
2. Family therapy
3. Regulation of antidepressant drugs
4. Nutritional support
4. Hospitalization usually is in response to the weight loss and electrolyte imbalances, so nutritional support becomes the priority intervention. All other
activities can be managed as outpatient therapies.
