Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Early, regular, and frequent nursing helps prevent engorgement. If engorgement does occur, the breast pump can be used to get the milk flow started. Skipping feedings contributes to engorgement, and limiting fluid is not beneficial or recommended.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding as the optimum nutrition from birth through the first year of life.

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.
