The nurse at the 9-month visit reviews the child's height, weight, and feeding progression history.

What should the nurse advise the parents concerning the child's nutrition? Select all that apply

Juice should be avoided in infancy and early childhood

The majority of the child's calories should be coming from the formula

The parents can add raw fruit, cheese, or firmly cooked vegetables to the die

The child should probably be eating more times per day

The parents should consider using a fluoride supplement

The child can now convert to animal milk instead of formula

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,C,D

A)   Correct- This is correct advice. Juice is not recommended for infants due to its high sugar content and lack of essential nutrients. It can contribute to excessive calorie intake and dental caries.
B)   Incorrect- This is not accurate for a 9-month-old infant. By 9 months, most infants have already started to transition to solid foods, and their primary source of nutrition should be from a variety of solid foods, not formula.
C)   Correct- This is correct advice. By 9 months, infants can begin to consume a variety of complementary foods to meet their nutritional needs. Adding raw fruit, cheese, or cooked vegetables can provide important nutrients and help introduce different tastes and textures.
D)   Correct- As infants transition to solid foods, they typically require more frequent meals and snacks to meet their energy and nutrient needs. Breast milk or formula intake may also gradually decrease as solid foods are introduced.
E)   Incorrect- Fluoride supplementation may be considered based on the fluoride content of the water supply and the child's risk of dental caries. However, this advice is not specific to the child's nutrition and feeding progression.
F. Incorrect- At 9 months, infants should not transition to whole cow's milk as their main source of nutrition. Breast milk or infant formula remains the primary source of nutrition, and cow's milk can be introduced as a beverage and ingredient in cooking after the first year of life.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

The client's history of lung cancer, persistent hoarseness, chronic cough, and labored respirations when speaking indicate potential respiratory complications. Coarse breath sounds may suggest the presence of airway obstruction or fluid accumulation in the lungs, which can be indicative of a worsening condition.

The nurse should intervene promptly by assessing the client's respiratory status further, providing appropriate respiratory support, and notifying the healthcare provider for further evaluation and intervention.

A. Low bioavailability. B. Short half life. C. Highly protein bound. D. High therapeutic index.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The property of the drugs that, if shared by both, indicates a need to closely monitor the client for drug toxicity is:

Highly protein bound.

When a drug is highly protein bound, it means that a significant portion of the drug molecules bind to proteins in the bloodstream. This binding can affect the availability and distribution of the drug in the body. If two drugs are highly protein bound and administered together, they may compete for binding sites on the proteins, leading to increased levels of unbound (free) drug in the bloodstream. This can result in higher drug concentrations and an increased risk of drug toxicity.

Closely monitoring the client for drug toxicity is necessary when drugs are highly protein bound because there is a potential for increased drug levels and associated adverse effects. Monitoring for signs and symptoms of drug toxicity, as well as routine laboratory tests to assess liver and kidney function, may be necessary in these cases.

The other properties listed do not necessarily indicate a need for closer monitoring for drug toxicity:

Low bioavailability refers to the fraction of an administered dose that reaches the systemic circulation in an active form. While low bioavailability can affect the effectiveness of a drug, it does not directly imply a need for closer monitoring for drug toxicity.
Short half-life refers to the time it takes for half of the drug concentration in the body to be eliminated. While drugs with short half-lives may require more frequent dosing, this property does not inherently suggest a need for closer monitoring for drug toxicity.
High therapeutic index indicates a wide margin of safety for a drug, meaning that the effective dose is significantly lower than the toxic dose. A high therapeutic index implies that the drug has a wide safety margin and is less likely to cause drug toxicity.
