Answer to Question 1

fetal alcohol syndrome
Alcohol interferes with the absorption and use of protein, thiamine, folic acid, and zinc. It also
impairs metabolism and often takes the place of food in the mother's diet. Vitamin and mineral
supplementation is usually necessary for women who consumed alcohol before pregnancy because
nutrient stores may be depleted.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Jitteriness of the newborn is associated with hypoglycemia, and would require close monitoring of blood glucose levels.
2. Sucking on fingers is a normal finding.
3. A lusty cry is a normal finding.
4. Axillary temperature of 98F is a normal finding.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
