Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A Breast milk does not provide an adequate amount of dietary vitamin D. Infants
who are exclusively breastfed need vitamin D supplements to prevent rickets.
B An infant feeder is an inappropriate method of providing the infant with caloric
intake. Solid foods are not recommended for a 3-month-old infant.
C Rice cereal and other solid foods are contraindicated in a 3-month-old infant.
Solid feedings do not typically begin before 4 to 6 months of age.
D Because breast milk is not an adequate source of fluoride, infants need to be
given a fluoride supplement in addition to a vitamin D supplement.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. Nurses as well as physicians are capable of breaking bad news to families with caring and empathy.
2. Asking parents to wait is uncaring and insensitive.
3. The best nursing intervention is to give the parents an appropriate environment before they are told the news, so that they can begin grieving privately.
4. Telling the parents the news in public is uncaring and insensitive.
