During a 4-month-old's well-child check,the nurse discusses introduction of solid foods into the infant's diet and concerns for foods commonly associated with food allergies
Therefore, the parents are instructed to delay
ntroduction until after one year of age of
1. strawberries,eggs,and wheat.
2. honey,tomatoes,and spinach.
3. carrots,beets,and spinach.
4. squash,pork,and tomatoes.
Answer:1
Rationale:Strawberries,eggs,and wheat,along with corn,fish,and nut products, are all foods that have commonly been associated with food allergies.Honey may contain botulism spores,which cannot be detoxified by the infant who is less than 1 year old,but it is not an allergic reaction.Carrots,beets,and spinach contain nitrates and should not be given before the age of 4 months.Squash andmatoes are acceptable to try after an infant is 4 to 6 months old but should be given one at a time and three to five days after starting a new food.Pork can be tried after the infant is 8 to 10 months old,as meats are harder to digest and have a high protein load.
