Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: Thiamine is present in a variety of foods of plant and animal origin. Pork products are especially rich in the vitamin. Other good sources include peanuts, asparagus, and whole grain and enriched cereals.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: Bathing should start at the eyes and face and with the cleanest area first. Next, the external ears and behind the ears are cleaned. The newborn's neck should be washed because formula, lint, or breast milk will often accumulate in the folds. Hands and arms are next, then the legs, with the diaper area washed last.
