Answer to Question 1

B
Physiologically, growth slows and appetite decreases during the toddler period. Toddlers need small, frequent meals. Nutritious selection throughout the day, rather than quantity, is more important with this age group. Milk consumption should not exceed 24 to 32 ounces daily. Increasing the amount of milk will only further decrease solid food intake. Supplemental vitamins are important for all children, but they do not increase appetite.

Answer to Question 2

C
Four ounces of orange juice is an appropriate treatment for the conscious child who is exhibiting signs of hypoglycemia. A glass of water is not indicated in this situation. An easily digested carbohydrate is indicated when a child exhibits symptoms of hypoglycemia. Insulin would lower blood glucose and is contraindicated for a child with hypoglycemia. Subcutaneous injection of glucagon is used to treat hypoglycemia when the child is unconscious.
