A nurse is providing nutritional guidance to a parent of a newborn.
Which statement by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

I should start giving solid foods to my baby when they are 3 months old.

I should wait until my baby is 4 months old to begin fluoride supplements.

I should wait to give fruit juice until my baby is 6 months old.

I should introduce cow’s milk when my baby is 9 months old.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale
Introducing solid foods to a baby at 3 months old is not recommended. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life.
Choice B rationale
The American Dental Association recommends that a child is at least 6 months old before they start using fluoride supplements, and only if the child is at high risk for tooth decay and the primary drinking water source is deficient in fluoride.
Choice C rationale
Waiting to give fruit juice until a baby is 6 months old is a correct practice. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that fruit juice should not be introduced into the diet of infants before 6 months of age.
Choice D rationale
Introducing cow’s milk when a baby is 9 months old is not recommended. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against introducing cow’s milk until a child is 12 months old.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Deep tendon reflexes of +1 are not consistent with preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is often associated with hyperreflexia, which would be a deep tendon reflex of +3 or +467.
Choice B rationale
3+ protein in the urine is consistent with preeclampsia. Proteinuria is a common finding in preeclampsia due to kidney involvement.
Choice C rationale
Blood pressure 148/98 mm Hg is consistent with preeclampsia. Hypertension is a key feature of preeclampsia.
Choice D rationale
1+ pitting sacral edema is consistent with preeclampsia. Edema, particularly in the face and hands, is a common finding in preeclampsia.

A. Accidental lacerations. B. Acrocyanosis. C. Respiratory distress. D. Hypothermia.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale
While accidental lacerations can occur during a cesarean delivery, they are not typically the primary concern immediately after delivery.

Choice B rationale
Acrocyanosis, or bluish discoloration of the hands and feet, is common in newborns and is not typically a priority concern immediately after delivery.
Choice C rationale
Respiratory distress is a priority concern in a newborn after a cesarean delivery. Newborns delivered by cesarean may have transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN), a condition characterized by rapid breathing during the first few hours of life.
Choice D rationale
While hypothermia is a concern in newborns, it is not typically the immediate priority following a cesarean delivery.
