NURS 2750 Exam 2 Questions With
Complete Solutions
Compare breastfeeding to formula feeding.
AAP recommends exclusive breastfeeding for first 6 months,
and to continue with addition of solid foods for at least the first
12 months. Infant formula may be used instead of breast milk, as
a supplement, or if infant weaned prior to 12 months of age.
Infant Formula Act: Regulates amount of nutrients in formula;
now almost all iron fortified.
Overfeeding is a bigger issue with bottle feeding.
Describe the process of introducing solid foods into the infant's
diet.
Delay introduction of solid foods until at least 4-6 months of
age. Developmentally, infants ready as they are able to sit up
with assist, extrustion reflux disappearing, eruption of teeth,
skills to self feed.
Start with iron fortified infant cereal. New foods introduce in
plain, simple form one at a time for 5-7 days. Allow child to self
regulate.
Choking risk - cut into irregular size shapes.
Describe common eating practices of children that may place
them at nutritional risk.
,Milk anemia: limit to 2-3 cups daily
Limit fruit juice to 4-6 oz/day
Rule of thumb: 1 T. of food/year of age until 4-6 years.
Don't limit fat and cholesterol prior to age 2
Don't force feed or use food as punishment or reward
Identify nutrients most likely to be under consumed by children
and adolescents and the
foods that supply those nutrients.
Nutrients of concern: Calcium, Fiber, Vitamin E, Vitamin D,
Magnesium, Iron
Explain potential health risks of a poor quality diet in children
and adolescents.
Overweight/Obesity: Obesity rates in preschoolers are higher for
those in lower socioeconomic levels.
Breakfast Skipping
Adolescent Pregnancy
Give examples of obesity prevention strategies for children and
adolescents.
, Give examples of physiologic changes that occur with aging and
that have an impact on nutrition.
Compare caloric and nutrient needs of older adults to those of
younger adults.
Calorie needs decrease due to less activity, lower BMR
Protein needs: 1.0-1.2 g/kg/day recommended for healthy elders
Water intake: AI remains the same; but most don't meet it. Risk
of dehydration
Fiber: Small decrease in AI after age 50; most not enough
Vitamins and Minerals: Calcium and Vitamin D, iron, B12.
Many deficient...except for sodium = too high
9. Compare modified MyPlate for Older adults with MyPlate for
younger adults.
Variations and Emphasis with older adults: Importance of fluids,
nutrient-dense foods; focus on convenient, affordable, readily
available food, low sodium. Importance of physical activity
