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.

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.
