A pregnant woman wants to breastfeed her infant, but her husband is not convinced that there are any scientific reasons to do so. The nurse can give the couple printed information comparing breastfeeding and bottle-feeding.
 
  Which of the following statements is true? Bot-tle-feeding using commercially prepared infant formulas: 1. increases the risk that the infant will develop allergies.
  2. helps the infant sleep through the night.
  3. ensures that the infant is getting iron in a form that is easily absorbed.
  4. requires that multivitamin supplements be given to the infant.

Question 2

Concerning prenatal genetic testing, nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. maternal serum screening can determine whether a pregnant woman is at risk of carrying a fetus with Down syndrome.
  2. carrier screening tests look for gene mutations of people already showing symp-toms of a disease.
  3. predispositional testing predicts with near certainty that symptoms will appear.
  4. presymptomatic testing is used to predict the likelihood of breast cancer.
