Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
An infant up to 2 months of age requires 110 to 120 calories per kilogram of body weight or 50 to 55 kcal/lb every 24 hours to provide an adequate amount for maintenance and growth. The other choices are incorrect information.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Six months to 1 year of age is one of the 2020 National Health Goals for breastfeeding. Although breastfeeding can help the mother return to prepregnancy weight, this is not a 2020 National Health Goal for breastfeeding. Three months is not the recommended time frame for the baby's nutrition. Breast milk can be donated; however, this is not a 2020 National Health Goal for breastfeeding.
