Answer to Question 1

Rationale:
1. Bleeding is a potential problem with circumcisions. A newborn can be susceptible to bleeding problems if the mother took anticoagulants during pregnancy.
2. Breastfeeding would not affect circumcision.
3. The Apgar scores are normal findings, and would not affect circumcision.
4. Six wet diapers is a normal finding, and would not affect circumcision.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale:
1. Sources rich in niacin include fish, meats, and enriched grains.
