Due to allergies, which foods will the nurse instruction the parents to avoid until after 1 year of age?
1. Strawberries, eggs, and wheat
2. Peas, tomatoes, and spinach
3. Carrots, beets, and spinach
4. Squash, pork, and tomatoes
Correct 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. Carrots, beets, and spinach contain nitrates and should not be given before the age of 4 months. Squash, peas, and tomatoes 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.
