Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Vitamin K injection must be used before bleeding is observed in the infant.
Rationale 2: Vitamin K is not present in high enough amounts in breast milk to protect the infant from bleeding.
Rationale 3: The infant's gut is sterile, so there is inadequate bacteria to synthesize vitamin K, which is essential to promote blood clotting.
Rationale 4: The stimulus for vitamin K rests with an injection, not a liquid form, to promote blood clotting and stimulate intestinal synthesis of the vitamin.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Certain anticonvulsants can be associated with B complex deficiencies, but the client is just starting therapy so he is not at great risk.
Rationale 2: The use of oral contraceptives is associated with deficiencies of B complex vitamins.
Rationale 3: Most nutritional demands can be met with a well-balanced diet.
Rationale 4: The prenatal vitamins will meet all the vitamin requirements of the pregnant female.
