Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
Hyperallergenic foods include peanuts, egg noodles, and tomato juice. Bananas and potatoes are not hyperallergenic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Feeding strategies for children with FTT should include persistence; introducing new foods slowly; and maintaining a calm, even temperament. The environment should be unstimulating, and a structured routine should be developed with regard to feeding, not just when the infant shows signs of hunger.
