Answer to Question 1

A
Positioning the infant at nipple level will prevent downward pulling of the nipple and subse-quent nipple trauma.
This position will pull the nipple down and cause trauma.
The forefinger and middle finger can be used to support the breast, but it is not an important consideration in positioning the newborn.
The infant should take in as much areola as possible to prevent trauma to the nipples.

Answer to Question 2

D

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
