Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is {"A":{"answers":"B"},"B":{"answers":"A"},"C":{"answers":"A"},"D":{"answers":"B"}}

Feed infant in a supine position: Contraindicated

  • Supine feeding increases the risk of aspiration and exacerbates reflux.

Offer smaller, more frequent feedings: Appropriate

  • Smaller, frequent feedings reduce gastric distension and reflux episodes.

Thicken formula feedings with rice cereal: Appropriate

  • Thickened feedings can help reduce reflux by increasing the weight of the stomach contents.

Place infant in a side-lying position for sleep: Contraindicated

  • The recommended sleep position for infants is supine (on the back) to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
