Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The vitamin supplement that is recommended for all women of childbearing age is a daily dose of 0.4 mg of folic acid. Folic acid taken before conception and during pregnancy can reduce the risk of neural tube defects by 70. No correlation exists between vitamins A, C, or folic acid and neural tube defects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The child with kwashiorkor has thin, wasted extremities and a prominent abdomen from edema (ascites). Diarrhea (persistent diarrhea malnutrition syndrome) not constipation commonly occurs from a lowered resistance to infection and further complicates the electrolyte imbalance. Anemia and protein deficiency is a common finding in malnourished children with kwashiorkor.
