Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Feedback:
Extending breastfeeding into toddlerhood is believed to be beneficial to the child as it is known to help prevent obesity. Adequate calcium intake and appropriate exercise lay the foundation for proper bone mineralization. The toddler requires an average intake of 500 mg calcium per day. The child younger than 2 years of age should not have his or her fat intake restricted, but this does not mean that unhealthy foods such as sweets should be eaten liberally. Weaning from the bottle should occur by 12 to 15 months of age. Prolonged bottle-feeding is associated with the development of dental caries. It is important for toddlers to consume adequate amounts of iron since they tend to have the lowest daily iron intake of any age group.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The elbow restraint is indicated to prevent children from touching the head or face after facial surgery. The jacket restraint is to restrain children younger than 6 months in a supine position. This will not prevent the baby from touching the face. The mummy restraint temporarily immobilizes young children for a procedure involving the head, neck, or throat. This might be the restraint used for the surgery but not for the postoperative care. The clove hitch restraint is used to secure one arm or leg for a procedure, such as an intravenous infusion.
