A
Feedback
A This is an accurate statement and the most appropriate response.
B Transitional stool is greenish brown to yellowish brown and usually appears by
the third day after initiation of feeding.
C This statement is not accurate.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback
A Women at risk for osteoporosis are likely to be Caucasian or Asian.
B Inadequate calcium intake is a risk factor for osteoporosis.
C Women at risk for osteoporosis are likely to be small boned and thin. Obese
women have higher estrogen levels as a result of the conversion of androgens in
the adipose tissue. Mechanical stress from extra weight also helps preserve bone
mass.
D Smoking is associated with earlier and greater bone loss and decreased estrogen
production.
