Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
It is appropriate to advance to a regular diet after ORS has been used to rehydrate the child. Clear liquids are not appropriate for hydration or afterward. A high carbohydrate diet may contribute to loose stools because of the low electrolyte content and high osmolality. The BRAT diet has little nutritional value and is high in carbohydrates.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
G. lamblia is a parasite that represents 10 of nondysenteric illness in the United States. Shigella, Salmonella, and E. coli are bacterial pathogens.
