2.0

2.5

3.0

Question Title

* 5. For infants in step down or other non-ICU settings, the daily energy and protein requirements recommended by Roman and by Luca et al. are:

80-100 kcal/kg and 2-2.2 g/kg

110-115 kcal/kg and 2.25-2.5 g/kg

120-150 kcal/kg and 3-3.5 g/kg

200 kcal/kg and 4-4.25 g/kg

Question Title

* 6. Which one of the following descriptions most accurately characterizes an energy- and nutrient-dense formula (ENDF)?

25 kcal/oz term infant formula with 2 g protein/100 kcal and < 450 mOsm/L

30 kcal/oz term infant formula with 2.6 g protein/100 kcal and < 400 mOsm/L

24 kcal/oz premature infant formula with 2 g protein/100 kcal and < 400 mOsm/L

28 kcal/oz term infant formula with 2.4 g protein/100 kcal and < 450 mOsm/L

Question Title

* 7. In the Marino et al study, 64% of the non-control CHD infants received which one of the following nutrition regimens?

Human milk or standard infant formula plus 30-80% of nutrition from an ENDF

Human milk or standard infant formula plus 50-100% of nutrition from an ENDF

Human milk or standard infant formula plus 20-50% of nutrition from an ENDF

Human milk or standard infant formula on demand

Question Title

* 8. In the Cui et al. study, which one of the following outcome statements is true?

The ENDF group met adequate intake of energy and macronutrients before day 2.

The infants in the ENDF group had fewer infections.

Stool frequency and volume overall was less in the ENDF group than in the SIF group.

The standard infant formula (SIF) group met adequate intake of energy and macronutrients on day 2.

Question Title

* 9. In the Cui et al. study, which one of the following outcomes was noted?

ENDF was better tolerated than SIF.

Infants who received SIF achieved positive nitrogen balance on day 3 postoperatively.

Infants who received SIF had a shorter length of ICU stay than those who received ENDF.

Infants who received ENDF achieved positive nitrogen balance on day 2 postoperatively.
