Answer to Question 1

C
The rooting reflex helps the newborn locate the source of nourishment.

Answer to Question 2

T
Is important for the nurse to explain to parents that the immunologic benefits of breast
milk are particularly important to the preterm infant who did not receive passive immunity
during fetal life. Human milk may stimulate the immune system and promotes
gastrointestinal maturation. Breast milk provides protection against infection and decreases
the incidence of NEC in the premature infant.
