One easy way that parents of teenagers can ensure that they are getting enough iodine in their diets to support the increased thyroid activity during adolescence is to:
 
  1. Give the child a multivitamin daily
  2. Use iodized table salt
  3. Keep fresh fruit and vegetables on hand for snacks
  4. Serve red meat at least once a week

Question 2

The nurse is caring for a 6-kg 4-month-old infant who is hospitalized with a respiratory infection. The nurse knows that an infant this age needs approximately 108 kcal/kg of body weight.
 
  The nurse also understands that human breast milk provides approximately 20 kcal/oz. About how much breast milk does the nurse need to feed the infant every 4 hours in order to provide enough to meet the infant's nutritional needs?
  1. 4.5 ounces
  2. 5.5 ounces
  3. 6.5 ounces
  4. 7.5 ounces

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Iodine supports increased thyroid activity, and use of iodized table salt ensures availability.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
6 kg x 108 kcal/kg/day = 648 kcal/day; 648 kcal/day  20 kcal/oz = 32.4 oz/day; 32.4 oz/day  24 hr/day = 1.35 oz/hr; 1.35 oz/hr x 4 hours = 5.4 ounces every 4 hours.
