  c. Premature infants use up their stores of hemosiderin within 6 to 8 weeks compared to approximately 20 weeks for full-term infants.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. Premature infants are not more at risk for iron-deficiency anemia than full-term infants because they do not eat as well.
B Incorrect. Premature infants are not more at risk for iron-deficiency anemia than full-term infants because of the size of their liver and spleen.
C Correct. Premature infants use up their stores of hemosiderin within 6 to 8 weeks compared to approximately 20 weeks for full-term infants. These stores function to protect the infant from anemia as they can be used in lieu of dietary iron intake.
D Incorrect. Premature infants are not more at risk for iron-deficiency anemia than full-term infants because the production of iron is depressed.
