Answer to Question 1

T
Glucose water alone is not recommended for newborns because the rapid rise in glucose,
will result in increased in sling production, causing a further drop in the blood glucose
level. Milk provides a longer-lasting supply of glucose for the newborn.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback
A Developmental milestones provide important information about the child's
physical, social, and neurologic health.
B The developmental milestones are specific to this child. If pertinent, attainment
of milestones by siblings should be included in the family history.
C Information about the attainment of developmental milestones is important to
obtain. It provides data about the child's growth and development that should be
