Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Formula choices are ready-to-use, concentrated liquid formula that will be diluted according to the infant's needs and powdered formula that is mixed as needed. Cow's milk and canned evaporated milk are unsuitable because they are nutritionally inadequate and stress the kidneys.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
When weaning a newborn from breastfeeding, the mother should eliminate the favorite feeding last. One feeding should be eliminated at a time, and the need for comfort feeding should be expected. In younger infants formula will need to be substituted. The mother should not be instructed to pump in place of eliminated feeding or the breasts will continue to produce milk.
