Answer to Question 1

1
Feedback
1. Excessive milk intake will decrease appetite and result in fewer intakes of foods containing iron.
2. Solid foods will contain iron, thus not causing a deficiency.
3. A premature infant may be anemic for other reasons besides iron deficiency.
4. The incompatibilities would have been noticed earlier in the infant's life. This does not cause iron deficiency.

Answer to Question 2

B
The increased incidence of tuberculosis in the United States is related to emigration, HIV infections, and the appearance of resistant strains of the disease.
