Answer to Question 1

T
Glucose water alone is not recommended for newborns because the rapid rise in glucose,

level. Milk provides a longer-lasting supply of glucose for the newborn.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback
A Developmental milestones provide important information about the child's

obtain. It provides data about the child's growth and development that should be
included in the history.
