Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse should teach the parent to limit the amount of formula to no more than 1 1/day to encourage intake of iron-rich solid foods.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse should administer the first 50 ml of blood or initial 20 of volume (whichever is smaller) slowly and stay with the child. Vitals signs should be taken 15 minutes after initiation and then every hour, not every 15 minutes. Blood should be used within 30 minutes, not 1 hour. Normal saline, not 5 glucose, should be the IV solution.
