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.
