Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. While vitamins A, D, and E are good for the body, they do not promote the absorption of iron.
2. Vitamin C is known to enhance the absorption of iron from meat and non-meat sources.
3. While vitamins A, D, and E are good for the body, they do not promote the absorption of iron.
4. While vitamins A, D, and E are good for the body, they do not promote the absorption of iron.

Answer to Question 2

A
Referred to as a midtrimester amniocentesis, this is usually done between the 14th and 16th week of gestation to detect chromosomal anomalies. Chorionic villi sampling is performed between the 9th and 12th week of gestation. Fasting glucose is used to diagnose gestational diabetes or determine increased insulin needs in the mother with diabetes. Ultrasound is done to determine fetal maturation and observe fetal anatomy.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
