Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals to promote health during the infant year by educating parents about the importance of using infant car seats, continuing exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, and instigating measures to prevent SIDS such as placing infants to sleep on their backs. The introduction of solid food would occur after the age of 6 months. Immunizations are provided throughout the infant year.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The Moro reflex will begin to fade at age 5 months and disappear by age 6 months. A Moro reflex at age 9 months or 1 year indicates the need for a neurologic examination.
