Answer to Question 1

Answer:1,3,5
Rationale:Physiologic anorexia is caused when the extremely high metabolic demands of infancy slow to keep pace with the slower growth of toddlerhood, and it is a very normal finding at this age.It is not unusual for toddlers to have food jags during which they only want one or two food items for that day.So it is more helpful to look at what their intake has been over a week instead of a day. Two to three cups of milk per day are sufficient for a toddler,and more than that can decrease the child's desire for other foods and lead to dietary deficiencies. The correct general guideline for food quantity is one tablespoon of each food per year of age.Food should only be offered at meal and snack times,and children should sit at the table while eating to encourage their socialization skills.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:2
Rationale: Acidity increases absorption of iron.Foods containing phosphorus (such as milk),oxalates (such as tomatoes),and tannins (such as teas) all decrease absorption of iron. Implementation
