Answer to Question 1

C
The Special Supplemental Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), overseen by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), provides vouchers for nutrient dense foods to low-income women with infants and young children. The La Leche League provides support to breastfeeding mothers. The U.S. Public Health Service and the American Academy of Pediatrics work together to recommend adequate intakes of folic acid for women of childbearing age to help prevent neural tube defects. The USDA does not have an Assistance Program..

Answer to Question 2

Thrombophlebitis
Rationale: Clients who are expected to receive parenteral nutrition for longer than 10 days should do so through a central vein since thrombophlebitis may result from the infusion of a hypertonic solution in a small vein. If infused properly, diarrhea, nausea, and edema are not common side effects of parentral nutrition since the solution is carefully formulated to contain a balanced amount of nutrients and vitamins.
