The client states that she uses bottled water to mix formula for her infant. The nurse educates the client that due to this practice, the infant may be at risk for developing which of the following health problems, later in life?
1. Cancer
2. Hypertension
3. Diabetes
4. Dental caries
4 Rationale: Bottled water does not typically contain adequate levels of fluoride, which is commonly added to municipal water supplies to protect community members' dental health. Tap water often contains fluoride and it would be better to mix formula with tap water for this reason. Bottled water use does not predispose the client to cancer, hypertension, or diabetes.
