  The nurse tells the mother that this response is called: A. Moro's reflex.
  B. the tonic neck reflex.
  C. the rooting reflex.
  D. the sucking reflex.

Question 2

Breast milk is best source of food almost all infants and especially for preterm infants. Breast-feeding has numerous benefits for the preterm infant.
 
  One of the most important of these benefits is reducing the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Is this statement true or false? Indicate whether the statement is true or false

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.
