Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The caloric concentration of formulas used for preterm infants is usually 22 calories per ounce compared with 20 calories per ounce for a term baby. Glucose water will not provide the infant with adequate calories. Iron supplementation will depend on laboratory values.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Iron supplements can lead to constipation, so the woman needs to increase her intake of fluids and high-fiber foods. Milk inhibits absorption and should be discouraged. Vitamin C-containing fluids such as orange juice are encouraged because they promote absorption. Ideally the woman should take the iron on an empty stomach to improve absorption, but many women cannot tolerate the gastrointestinal discomfort it causes. In such cases, the woman should take it with meals. Iron typically causes the stool to become black and tarry; there is no need for the woman to notify her doctor.
