Question 1 of 5
Infants who are recovering from acute diarrhea are often fed soy-based formulas because:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Acute diarrhea can temporarily damage intestinal villi, reducing lactase enzyme production and causing lactose intolerance. Soy-based formulas, being lactose-free, prevent exacerbation of diarrhea. Option A is incorrect; milk-based formulas don’t typically cause bleeding here. Option B is false; soy isn’t inherently electrolyte-fortified. Option C is too broad; fat digestion isn’t the primary concern.
Question 2 of 5
A four-year-old child, whose family follows a strict vegetarian diet, undergoes a prekindergarten physical examination. The pediatric nurse is alert to the child’s potential deficiency of:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Vitamin B12, found in animal products, is a common deficiency in strict vegetarians unless supplemented, risking anemia and neurological issues. Options A, B, and C are available in plant foods.
Question 3 of 5
A 10-year-old boy has a history of hyperactivity, declining school performance and daytime sleepiness. Which of the following investigations will lead to the MOST likely diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sleep-disordered breathing (e.g., sleep apnea) can cause daytime sleepiness, hyperactivity, and poor performance. An overnight polysomnogram diagnoses this. CT (A) and EEG (B) assess structural/seizure issues. Testing (C) evaluates learning, not sleep.
Question 4 of 5
While assessing a newborn with cleft lip, the nurse would be alert that which of the following will most likely be compromised?

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The Moro reflex (startle reflex) occurs when a sudden stimulus causes the arms to extend outward then flex inward, common in newborns. Tonic neck (A) involves head-turning asymmetry. Rooting (B) aids feeding. Gag (C) prevents choking.
