Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A rumination disorder is the act of regurgitating and then reswallowing previously digested food. Even though it is rare, it usually affects infants between the ages of 3 and 12 months and is seen most often in children who are cognitively challenged. Rumination disorder is not associated with cardiac, respiratory, or urinary tract problems.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals to address cognitive and mental health disorders in children by educating parents about nutrition and inadequate weight gain; educating families about ways to reduce stress; and identifying children in school and health care settings who demonstrate a high level of stress, depression, or other symptoms of mental illness.
