Answer to Question 1

A
This child is consuming a diet low in iron. The NP should order a CBC to check this child's hemoglobin.

Answer to Question 2

B
Large amounts of caffeine decrease calcium absorption. Calcium absorption is improved with fat and decreased with high protein intake. All sodas contain phosphorus, which decreases calcium levels.
