Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale:Preterm infants are evaluated according to the corrected age. This infant,born at 28 weeks'gestational age,is 12 weeks premature. Therefore,the infant should be expected to reach developmental milestones about 12 weeks later than an infant who was born full term.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale:Breast milk is the preferred method of feeding infants in the first six months of life. The AAP does not recommend exclusive breast-feeding for the first year of life. These infants would be at risk for experiencing nutritional deficiencies. A variety of solid foods should not be introduced at 4 months of age since the infant cannot digest so many foods.Solid infant foods can be introduced at 6 months of age regardless of the status of tooth eruption since the foods are all pureed.
