单项选择题
The nurse is teaching the mother of a neonate. The nurse should instruct the mother to introduce her infant to solid foods at what age()
A. 2 months.
B. 4 months.
C. 6 months.
D. 8 months.
答案
参考答案:C
解析:
Solid foods are typically introduced around age 6 months. They aren’t recommended at an earlier age because of the protrusion and sucking reflexes and the immaturity of the infant’s GI tract and immune system. By age 8 months, the infant usually has been introduced to iron-fortified infant cereal and vegetables and will begin to try fruits.
