In providing nutrition counseling for the mother of an infant, nurses should stress that
1. All infants should receive ferrous sulfate drops.
2. Bottle-fed babies should receive iron-fortified commercial formula.
3. Breast-fed babies should not be given iron supplements.
4. Iron supplementation is necessary only for preterm infants.
Question 2
In addition to the direct health problems caused by tobacco use, smoking in adolescence is problematic because
1. Cigarettes are considered to be a gateway drug, and their use often leads to abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs.
2. Enforcement of laws that restrict or prohibit selling tobacco to minors is very expensive and impossible to police.
3. Smoking can result in appetite suppression, which may retard growth.
4. The need to buy cigarettes illicitly may encourage adolescents to shoplift or steal.
