Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should caution the parents that kiwifruit should be avoided. Other foods to avoid include cow's milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, fish, and shellfish. Breastfeeding also is recommended for at least the first 6 months.

G6PD deficiency is an X-linked recessive disorder that affects the functioning of the red blood cells. A deficiency in clotting factors is associated with disorders such as idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, DIC, or hemophilia. An excess supply of iron refers to hemosiderosis, a complication of thalassemia, an autosomal recessive disorder.
