Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to the parent of a 10-month-old infant who is having difficulty eating. The parent is feeding their infant goat milk. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Warming goat's milk before feeding does not address the issue of nutritional adequacy or the potential allergenicity of goat's milk. Soy milk may not be suitable for infants under 12 months old due to potential allergenicity and nutritional concerns. Commercially prepared infant formula is the most appropriate option for infants who are having difficulty with breastfeeding or require an alternative to breast milk. Reinitiating breastfeeding may not be feasible or appropriate if the infant is already having difficulty eating.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to the guardian of a 2-year-old child about typical toddler behavior. Which of the following behaviors should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Toddlers thrive on routines and consistency, which provide them with security and predictability.
Toddlers are in a stage of development where they assert their independence and autonomy by saying 'no' or 'mine' to almost everything. This is a normal and healthy behavior that reflects their growing sense of self and identity.
Toddlers are typically emotionally labile, meaning they can experience rapid changes in mood and emotions.
Toddlers may display increased independence rather than increased dependency as they strive to assert their autonomy.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is planning to teach an adolescent who is lactose intolerant about dietary guidelines. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This option provides a suitable alternative for obtaining calcium without consuming milk, which is appropriate for someone who is lactose intolerant. While plain milk may be better tolerated than chocolate milk due to fewer additives, it's not a suitable option for someone who is lactose intolerant. Flavored yogurt may contain lactose and could potentially worsen symptoms of lactose intolerance. Drinking milk on an empty stomach doesn't address the issue of lactose intolerance and may exacerbate symptoms.
