"Consume 1,500 to 1,700 calories per day."

"Decrease your vitamin D intake once you start to menstruate.”

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

During menstruation, girls lose some iron and should try to replace it by including iron-rich foods in their diet.

Choice A is wrong because the American Heart Association recommends limiting sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams per day.

Choice B is wrong because caloric needs vary depending on age, sex, height, weight, and level of physical activity.

Choice D is wrong because vitamin D is important for bone health and adolescents should not decrease their intake.

Correct Answer is ["B","C","D"]

Explanation

An infant with acute otitis media may exhibit crying, restlessness and fever.

Choice A is wrong because an infant with acute otitis media may have a decreased appetite.

Choice E is not the best answer because an enlarged subclavicular lymph node is not a common finding in acute otitis media.

A. "We should adjust the straps daily.” B. "We will apply lotion to the skin under the straps.” C. "We will place the diaper under the straps.” D. "We should expect our baby to wear this harness for 2 months.”

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

According to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland Orthopaedic Department, you can change your baby’s diaper with the Pavlik harness in place and make sure the straps are kept outside of the diaper.

Choice A is wrong because while your child is being treated in the Pavlik harness, it is very important that you do not remove the harness or adjust the straps, unless you are given specific instructions by your doctor to do so.

Choice B is wrong because there are no instructions to apply lotion to the skin under the straps.

Choice D is wrong because the duration of treatment will be determined by your doctor and may vary.
