Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The physical therapist will assess the infant's developmental level and work with the parents to help the child attain milestones. The physician will look for a physical reason for failure to thrive, assess the parents' understanding of proper nutrition for the infant, and assess for signs of abuse and neglect. Child protective services would not be contacted unless abuse and neglect were suspected. Speech therapy may be ordered if the child has sucking and swallowing issues, but no evidence of those issues is provided. Prescribing growth hormone is inappropriate before laboratory studies have been obtained.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Because the parents' complaints are possibly related to an infant who has symptoms of failure to thrive, the nurse would assess the relationship and interactions between the infant and the parents. Assessment is the priority, not feeding the baby. The physician orders labs and medications.
