Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The SODA mnemonic stands for sleep, output, diet, and activity. Asking if the child's earache is affecting sleep is the appropriate question for the S component of this mnemonic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Children should be switched from whole milk to skim or low-fat varieties after age 2 years. Ten to 35 of calories should be from protein sources. Unsaturated fats are healthier than saturated fats. Carbohydrates form the bulk of a child's diet and should be 45-65 of the daily calorie intake.
