Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A physiologic problem, such as cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, gastroenteritis, parasites, or congenital heart disease, may cause FTT. More commonly, FTT has a psychosocial rather than a congenital physical cause. Nurses should avoid judgment or blame of family caregivers and recommend family counseling and education. The FTT infant is often hospitalized from 10 to 14 days and fed on demand, at least every 2 to 3 hours. If the resulting weight gain is appropriate, FTT is a definite diagnosis. FTT infants may be passive and withdrawn, and may have developmental delays.
