Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because the newborn will swallow air during a feeding, the infant should be burped frequently to prevent regurgitation and aspiration. The formula provides adequate nutrition for an infant for the first several months of life without the addition of rice cereal. Discard unused formula because microorganisms from the infant's mouth grow rapidly in warm formula. Microwave heating may unevenly heat the formula and burn the infant's mouth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
This action compresses the milk sinuses beneath the areola and draws milk into the baby's mouth during sucking.
