Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Starting iron-fortified infant cereal at 4 to 6 months of age is recommended for prevention of iron deficiency in children. Infants who are not breast-fed should get iron-fortified formula. Cow's milk should not be introduced until 12 months of age. Vitamin C should be started at 6 to 9 months of age and continued, because foods rich in vitamin C improve iron absorption.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The skin is most commonly affected in graft-versus-host disease after a transplant. A pruritic, macular papular rash and a blistering, burning sensation can occur. The other systems are important to assess, but are not the highest priority.
