Answer to Question 1

C
Phenylketonuria will result in mental retardation if not diagnosed and treated from birth. Most states require testing for PKU in the neonate. If the disease is present, treatment begins at birth and lasts throughout life. Cystic fibrosis affects the exocrine glands and is not usually diagnosed until infancy. Tay-Sachs disease is not usually diagnosed until the infant is 6 months old.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D, E, F
Some of the benefits of mother-baby nursing for the family and newborn include fostering breast feeding; providing individualized, one-to-one care; promoting the mother's role and attachment; decreasing the incidence of cross-infection; increasing maternal self-confidence in caring for the newborn; and facilitating early establishment of biologic rhythms with flexible feeding and sleep cycles. Other benefits include increasing educational opportunities; fostering continuity of care and reduction of confusion of messages between care givers; promoting the mother's learning about her newborn and self-care capabilities; and eliminating anxiety about whether the newborn is properly cared for.

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.
