Question 2

Mrs. L is not sure if her 3-month-old infant is getting enough calories to meet her recommended daily requirements for growth even though she continues to gain weight. The nurse tells her that infants:
 
  1. Only require about 50 kcalorie/kg/day because of low energy expenditure.
   2. Require about 450 kcalories/day because of rapid growth.
   3. Need fewer calories per kilogram than adults because of their high respiratory and heart rate.
   4. Use few calories/day to maintain core body temperature.

Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Peripheral foods are foods eaten occasionally or sporadically. They are typically based on an individual's preferences, not the culture norms.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Infants up to 6 months require about 108 kcalories/kg/day. Infants up to age 6 months require about 450 kcalories/day to support rapid growth and meet metabolic demands. Higher respiratory and heart rates require more kcalories/kg/day than those required for adults. The amount of energy needed to maintain the core body temperature increases the kcalories/kg/day required for infants. .

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
