Answer to Question 1

2
Feedback
1. Lead-based paint can lead to lead poisoning, not anemia.
2. A 6 month old is not able to store iron. Milk is not fortified with iron, thus creating the deficiency for the child. The child should remain on formula until at least 12 months of age.
3. Juice provides empty calories and nutrients and should not be given to an infant.
4. Water should not be given to an infant because it fills the stomach, and the child does not receive the needed nutrition from the formula.

Answer to Question 2

4
Feedback
1. Permission from her parents can be a decision made by the girl. The nurse needs to provide information on what could occur with a piercing.
2. The piercing establishment is responsible for informing the client.
3. A teen is seeking acceptance from peers, and this would not be appropriate.
4. The side effects of the piercing and teaching on the signs and symptoms of infection should be provided by the nurse.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
