,During a well-baby visit, Jenny asks the nurse when she should start giving her infant solid
foods. The nurse should instruct her to introduce which solid food first?
Applesauce
Egg whites
Rice cereal
Yogurt
Correct Answer
A. Rice cereal
Explanation
Rice cereal is the first solid food an infant should receive because it is easy to digest and is
associated with few allergies. Next, the infant can receive pureed fruits, such as bananas,
applesauce, and pears, followed by pureed vegetables, egg yolks, cheese, yogurt, and finally,
meat. Egg whites should not be given until age 9 months because they may trigger a food
allergy.

Parents bring their infant to the clinic, seeking treatment for vomiting and diarrhea that has
lasted for 2 days. On assessment, the nurse in charge detects dry mucous membranes and
lethargy. What other findings suggests a fluid volume deficit?
, A sunken fontanel
Decreased pulse rate
Increased blood pressure
Low urine specific gravity
Correct Answer
A. A sunken fontanel
Explanation
In an infant, signs of fluid volume deficit (dehydration) include sunken fontanels, increased pulse
rate, and decreased blood pressure. They occur when the body can no longer maintain
sufficient intravascular fluid volume. When this happens, the kidneys conserve water to
minimize fluid loss, which results in concentrated urine with a high specific gravity.
