true
false

1. ways to limit sodium intake in young children include all of the following except:

rinsing frozen vegetables before heating
limiting processed snacks
limiting luncheon meats and hot dogs

Explanation:

Question 20

Bacon and sausage are high - fat, processed meats that can be hard for young children to digest. Corn has a tough outer layer (the hull) that is difficult for a child's digestive system to break down. Potatoes, when cooked properly (like mashed or boiled), are relatively easy to digest as they are a starchy vegetable with a soft texture when prepared correctly. So among the options, potatoes are the food that is not difficult for young children to digest.

Oxytocin is responsible for the let - down reflex (ejection of milk from the breast), while prolactin is the hormone that stimulates the synthesis of breast milk. So the statement that oxytocin stimulates the synthesis of breast milk is false.

Limiting processed snacks and luncheon meats/hot dogs helps reduce sodium intake as these are often high in sodium. Rinsing canned vegetables before eating can wash off some of the sodium - rich brine. Frozen vegetables do not have added sodium in the same way (they are usually just frozen, not in a sodium - rich solution), so rinsing frozen vegetables before heating is not a way to limit sodium intake (as there is little sodium to rinse off).

Answer:

D. Potatoes
