(Infant and child growth tables, BMI table for children) Question 2^5 / 6^ pts

Your Answer: After assessing the children, they all appear to be growing well, and you see no concerns. However, as you review your findings with Tonya, she has some questions. Her husband recently lost his job, and money is tight. Tonya is thinking about switching Trey to cow’s milk rather than formula to save money. She is also concerned because Dana is not eating as well as she had previously. After obtaining further information you feel that Dana is experiencing some common eating issues experienced by preschoolers. Discuss the following with Tonya.

2. It is important to continue to give Trey formula rather than cow’s milk until he reaches one year of age. Discuss 3 reasons. It's important for Trey to continue formula rather than cow's milk because the level of protein and minerals in cow's milk is too high for a baby's GI tract and not easily digested. Cow's milk also lacks all of the nutrients an infant needs. In addition, the proteins could lead to future allergies for the child

2. Any of the following are acceptable answers: a. Formula meets the specific carbohydrate and protein needs of the infant b. it contains the right amount and type of fat to promote growth and brain development c. has all the vitamins that an infant requires d. the protein in cow’s milk is too difficult for the infants GI tract to digest e. it contains iron Question 3^3 / 3^ pts

Question 4 2.5^ / 5^ pts Your Answer: After assessing the children, they all appear to be growing well, and you see no concerns. However, as you review your findings with Tonya, she has some questions. Her husband recently lost his job, and money is tight. Tonya is thinking about switching Trey to cow’s milk rather than formula to save money. She is also concerned because Dana is not eating as well as she had previously. After obtaining further information you feel that Dana is experiencing some common eating issues experienced by preschoolers. Discuss the following with Tonya.

4. There are several nutrition concerns specific to preschoolers. One is iron deficiency anemia and another dental caries. Briefly discuss each of these with Tonya: Iron deficiency anemia Dental caries Dental caries ( or cavities) can occur when sugary foods and drinks are consumed and the sugars stay on the teeth or gums for long periods. To combat it, don't put a baby to bed with a bottle of juice or milk. Wipe baby's teeth and gums after eating or drinking. Toddlers/ preschools should avoid sugary snacks or sticky foods. Teeth brushing with toothpaste that has fluoride can help to prevent cavities.

4. Iron deficiency anemia usually manifests itself between the ages of 6 and 24 months. Anemia causes the oxygen supply to the cells to decline and can lead to decreased energy and learning ability as well as decreased immunity and increased risk of disease. Iron fortified breakfast cereal and a small amount of meat will provide enough iron to meet children’s needs. Dental caries occurs when sugar from beverages or food can lie on the teeth or gums for a period. To prevent cavities from developing never put a baby to bed with a bottle of milk, formula or juice. Wipe your infants gum and teeth after drinking or eating. For toddlers and preschoolers, avoid sticky, high sugar snacks and encourage brushing with a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste.

Older children and adolescents should engage in moderate and vigorous activities for up to 60 minutes a day. Activities should include aerobic as well as strengthening activities.
