1. Which outcome has been shown to be most closely associated with breastfeeding infants of mothers who smoke?

• A. poor temperature regulation
• B. vision impairment
• C. vomiting
• D. elevated blood pressure

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: vomiting. Infants breastfed by mothers who smoke are more likely to experience vomiting and gastrointestinal issues due to the transfer of nicotine and other harmful substances through breast milk. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Poor temperature regulation, vision impairment, and elevated blood pressure are not the primary outcomes closely associated with breastfeeding infants of mothers who smoke.

2. The following are all classes of nutrients except:

• A. protein
• B. fat
• C. carbs
• D. phytochemicals

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Phytochemicals are not considered a class of nutrients. While proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are essential macronutrients providing energy and structural support, phytochemicals are non-nutrient compounds found in plants that offer various health benefits but are not essential for sustaining life like the other three choices. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

• A. Within 4 days after discharge
• B. Within 24 hours after discharge
• C. Within 1 hour after discharge

Correct answer: C

4. Loss of smell results in a condition that limits the capacity to detect the flavor of food and beverages, called:

• A. Accomplishes his goal in joining the group
• B. Discovers that his feelings are shared by the group members
