Question 1

​Which measurement(s)assess(es)newborn health status after birth?

Accepted Answer

Birthweight, length, and head circumference are all important measurements that are used to assess newborn health status after birth. Birthweight is used to assess growth and development, as well as to identify potential health concerns that may require immediate attention. Length is also used to assess growth and development, and can provide information about the baby's nutritional status. Head circumference is used to evaluate brain growth and development, and can help detect potential problems such as hydrocephalus or other neurological conditions. Therefore, all three measurements are important and should be taken into consideration when assessing newborn health status after birth.

Question 2

The energy needs of infants are higher per kilogram of body weight than at any other time of life.

Accepted Answer

This is true because infants have a higher metabolic rate and are rapidly growing, which requires a greater amount of energy per unit of body weight than any other stage of life.

Question 3

The DHA content in breast milk is lower in vegetarian mothers than non-vegetarian mothers.

Accepted Answer

Vegetarian diets usually contain less DHA than non-vegetarian diets, and therefore the breast milk of vegetarian mothers may have lower levels of DHA.

Question 4

​Fat contributes approximately half of the calories in breast milk.

Accepted Answer

Breast milk contains approximately 50-60% of its calories from fat, making it an important source of energy for growing infants.

Question 5

​Infant mortality rate refers to the number of infant _____ per _____ live births.

Accepted Answer

Infant mortality rate is defined as the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births in a given year.

Question 6

Restriction of dietary cholesterol is recommended in infancy.

Accepted Answer

Dietary cholesterol is not typically restricted in infancy as it is essential for growth and development, especially for brain development. Breast milk and formula provide necessary cholesterol for infants.

Question 7

​Which reflex(es)would help an infant breastfeed?

Accepted Answer

Rooting reflex helps the infant locate the breast, and suckling reflex helps them latch onto the nipple and start breastfeeding. Withdrawal reflex is not related to breastfeeding.

Question 8

​Which condition contributed the least to infant mortality in 2011?

Accepted Answer

According to the given options, respiratory distress syndrome contributed the least to infant mortality in 2011.

Question 9

Healthy infants may have brief periods when their weight gain is slower or more rapid than at other times.

Accepted Answer

It is normal for healthy infants to have periods of slower or more rapid weight gain due to various factors such as growth spurts or changes in feeding patterns. However, it is important to ensure that overall weight gain is appropriate for their age and development.

Question 10

Organs and systems developed in utero continue to increase in size and complexity after birth.

Accepted Answer

This is true. Organs such as the brain, liver, and lungs continue to grow and develop in size and function after birth. The bones also continue to grow and strengthen, and the immune system continues to develop and mature.

Question 14

​Which nutritional component would a newborn be unable to digest?

Accepted Answer

Newborns have limited ability to digest complex carbohydrates, especially in the first few months of life. They lack the necessary enzymes to break down complex carbohydrates like starch and fiber. Breast milk and formula are designed to meet the nutritional needs of infants and contain simple carbohydrates that are easy to digest. Fats, proteins, and simple sugars can all be digested by newborns.

Question 15

​An infant weighing 2300 g would be considered a _____-birthweight infant.

Accepted Answer

The weight of 2300 g falls below the average weight of a newborn (around 3400 g) and is considered low birthweight. The other options are not appropriate because they describe even lower weights than 2300 g.

Question 16

​Measurements for weight,length,or head circumference below the _____ percentile indicate an infant is small for gestational age (SGA)while measurements above the _____ percentile indicate an infant is large for gestational age (LGA).

Accepted Answer

The answer of ​Measurements for weight,length,or head circumference below the...

Question 17

Gastrointestinal infections may temporarily cause lactose intolerance.

Accepted Answer

Gastrointestinal infections can damage the lining of the small intestine where lactase (the enzyme needed to digest lactose) is produced, resulting in temporary lactose intolerance.

Question 18

​Infant mortality refers to deaths that occur _____.

Accepted Answer

Infant mortality refers to the death of infants within the first year of life.

Question 19

​Full-term infants are born at _____ weeks gestation.

Accepted Answer

Full-term infants are born at 37-42 weeks gestation.

Question 20

Cow's milk formula is an equal alternative to human milk.

Accepted Answer

Cow's milk formula is not an equal alternative to human milk because the composition of the two types of milk is different. Human milk contains specific nutrients and antibodies that cannot be replicated in cow's milk formula. Furthermore, cow's milk formula may cause digestive issues in infants and lacks the same level of digestibility as human milk. Therefore, cow's milk formula is not recommended as a complete replacement for human milk, but may be used under certain circumstances and with the guidance of a healthcare professional.
