Answer to Question 1

1; 3; 5
Rationale:
1. Physiologic anorexia is caused when the extremely high metabolic demands of infancy slow to keep pace with the slower growth of toddlerhood, and is a very normal finding at this age.
2. The correct general guideline for food quantity is one tablespoon of each food per year of age.
3. It is not unusual for toddlers to have food jags where they only want one or two food items for that day. It is more helpful to look at what their intake has been over a week than over a day.
4. Food should be offered only at meal- and snacktimes. Children should sit at the table while eating to encourage socialization skills.
5. Two to three cups of milk per day are sufficient for a toddler, and more than that can decrease their desire for other foods and lead to dietary deficiencies.

Answer to Question 2

VBAC
Although vaginal birth after cesarean is less common, it may be chosen for a variety of
reasons. The nurse should be aware of the need for increased support of the woman in
labor, and for complications that may occur.
