Answer to Question 1

C
The patient is exhibiting signs of early vitamin A deficiency. Beta carotene is recommended to avoid vitamin A toxicity because beta carotene is converted to vitamin A as needed and there is no need to monitor intake levels as with vitamin A. Thiamine and ascorbic acid are not indicated.

Answer to Question 2

B
Children often develop strong food preferences as they start to eat solid foods. Parents should be taught that balance over time is important and should provide small portions of a variety of foods at every meal. Not every meal has to include every nutrient. Vitamin supplementation may be necessary for children who refuse to eat a variety of foods.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
