  c. start feeding the infant rice cereal with a spoon at the evening feeding.
  d. continue breast-feeding without any supplements.

Question 2

  b. Target organs stimulate the hypothalamus, which in turn produces hormones.

Answer to Question 1

A
Breast milk does not provide an adequate amount of dietary vitamin D. Infants who are exclusively breast-fed need vitamin D supplements to prevent rickets. An infant feeder is an inappropriate method of providing the infant with caloric intake. Solid foods and rice cereal are not recommended for a 3-month-old infant. Solid feedings do not typically begin before 4 to 6 months of age. Because breast milk is not an adequate source of fluoride, infants need to be given a fluoride supplement.

Answer to Question 2

D
The pituitary stimulates target organs to produce specific hormones. When enough hormone is produced, the target organ signals the pituitary to stop secretion of the stimulating hormone. There are six hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary; they are not interdependent. The anterior pituitary gland stimulates target organs to produce specific hormones and does not control production of posterior pituitary hormones.
