What are the food and nutrient intake recommendations for toddlers with BPD? Give specific food and meal patterns suggestions.

Question 2

The nurse understands the importance of evaluating the progress of growth in pregnant women, infants, children, and adolescents, detecting under- and over-nutrition in all age groups, and measuring changes in body composition over time. The nurse should recognize that all of these purposes can be served through:
 
 a. anthropometric measurements.
  b. functional tests of nutrition status.
  c. biochemical tests of protein status.
  d. physical examination for signs of malnutrition.

Answer to Question 1

Food and nutrient intake recommendations for toddlers with BPD are similar to those for children with weakness. Small, frequent meals with foods that are concentrated energy sources are needed. Easy-to-eat foods may still be recommended so that fatigue from meals is low. If the toddler with breathing problems does not gain weight as a result of nutrition interventions, the next step would be to add homemade or commercially prepared nutritional supplements to meet the higher energy and protein needs. These supplements, such as Pediasure or KinderCal, are designed to meet the needs of children ages 110.
