Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Supplements do not have better absorption than natural vitamins and minerals.
B There is no relationship between supplements and PIH.
C Supplements do not contain calories.
D The use of supplements in addition to food may increase the intake of some nutrients to
doses much higher than the recommended amounts. Overdoses of some nutrients have
been shown to cause fetal defects.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. When formula is overdiluted, the infant will not receive adequate nutrients to ensure proper weight gain.
2. From birth to 2 months of age, the newborn should take between 6 and 8 feedings of formula per 24 hours. Allow infants to take what they want at each feeding and stop when they want.
3. Formula-fed newborns should be fed every 34 hours.
4. Nothing should be added to a bottle unless instructed by the health care provider. Honey should never be given to infants, because of the risk of botulism.
