OVERVIEW :
CMN 571 Unit 2 Test – 2026/2027 covers infant nutrition, breastfeeding,
complementary feeding, vitamin D, iron, fluoride, malnutrition screening, growth
monitoring, developmental milestones across gross motor, fine motor, language,
social domains, and immunizations including DTaP, Tdap, rotavirus, Hib, IPV,
PCV13, influenza, MMR, hepatitis A, varicella, HPV, and meningococcal vaccines,
contraindications, precautions, schedules, catch-up guidance for pediatric
primary care success review.
Answers are in bold Green, with rationales after.
1. According to AAP, what is the exclusive feeding recommendation for the
first 6 months of life?
A. Exclusive breastfeeding
B. Exclusive formula feeding
C. Breast milk plus cereal
D. Cow's milk and juice
Rationale: AAP recommends exclusive breastfeeding for first 6 months,
continuing to 12 months and as long as mutually desired. Provides optimal
nutrition and protection against infection.
,2. When should complementary solid foods generally be introduced for a
healthy term infant?
A. At 2 months
B. At 4-6 months when developmental readiness cues present
C. At 9 months
D. At 12 months
Rationale: Complementary foods introduced at 4-6 months when infant shows
readiness: good head control, sits with support, shows interest, loss of
extrusion reflex. Early <4 months increases allergy/obesity risk.
3. Which sign indicates developmental readiness for spoon feeding and solids?
A. Persistent tongue thrust/extrusion reflex
B. Inability to sit with support
C. Good head control and interest in food
D. Sleeping through the night
Rationale: Readiness cues include good head control, ability to sit with
support, bringing hands to mouth, and interest in foods. Extrusion reflex
should be diminished.
4. A 12-month-old infant can drink which milk as primary milk source?
A. Skim milk from 6 months
B. Goat's milk at 6 months
C. Whole cow's milk is acceptable after 12 months
D. Almond milk as primary milk
Rationale: Cow's milk should not be introduced before 12 months due to risk
of GI bleeding, iron deficiency, and high renal solute load. After 12 months,
whole milk until age 2, then low-fat can be introduced.
5. Honey should be avoided before what age due to botulism risk?
A. 6 months
B. 18 months
C. 12 months
, D. 24 months
Rationale: Honey can contain Clostridium botulinum spores. Avoid before 12
months because infant gut cannot prevent spore germination, leading to
infant botulism.
6. What is the recommended daily vitamin D supplementation for exclusively
breastfed infants?
A. 400 IU daily starting in first few days
B. 200 IU daily
C. 800 IU daily after 6 months
D. No supplementation needed if breastfed
Rationale: AAP recommends 400 IU vitamin D daily for all breastfed and
partially breastfed infants starting in first few days, continued until weaned
and consuming ≥1000 mL vitamin D-fortified formula or whole milk.
7. Iron supplementation needs are highest in which infant group?
A. Breastfed preterm infants need supplemental iron
B. Formula-fed term infants
C. Breastfed term infants after 12 months only
D. All infants after 2 years
Rationale: Preterm infants have lower iron stores and rapid growth.
Exclusively breastfed term infants need iron supplementation starting at 4-6
months, but preterm breastfed infants need supplemental iron earlier (2
mg/kg/day starting at 1 month).
8. At what age should fluoride supplementation be considered?
A. From birth for all infants
B. Only after 3 years
C. After 6 months if water fluoride <0.3 ppm
D. Never needed if using formula
Rationale: Fluoride supplement indicated after 6 months of age if local water
supply fluoride <0.3 ppm and infant is not receiving fluoridated water. Breast
milk has minimal fluoride.
