Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A These responses, although possible, are not the likely reason for this anger.

common response. One of the most common targets for parental anger is
members of the staff. The nurse should recognize the common response of anger
to the diagnosis and allow the family to ventilate.

D These responses, although possible, are not the likely reason for this anger.

A A 5-month-old infant cannot get adequate iron without drinking an iron-fortified
formula or taking an iron supplement.

Infants who drink cow's milk do not get adequate iron and are at risk for iron
deficiency anemia.
