The nurse is conducting a physical examination of a child following a comprehensive health history. What should be the focus of the physical examination?

To calculate the total fluid intake, add up the volume of each item consumed:
- 1⁄2 cup of juice = approximately 120 mL
- 3 oz gelatin = approximately 90 mL
- 1 oz of an ice pop = approximately 30 mL
- 20 mL ginger ale
Total fluid intake = 120 mL (juice) + 90 mL (gelatin) + 30 mL (ice pop) + 20 mL (ginger ale)
= 260 mL

A. Congenital anomalies: While congenital anomalies can contribute to infant mortality, they are not the leading cause of death among infants.

B. Respiratory distress: Respiratory distress can be a significant concern in newborns, especially premature infants, but it is not the leading cause of death among infants overall.

C. Low birth weight: Low birth weight is a risk factor for various health complications in infants, but it is not the leading cause of death among infants.

D. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS): SIDS is the sudden and unexplained death of an otherwise healthy infant, typically during sleep. It is the leading cause of death among infants aged 1 month to 1 year, making it an essential consideration in health promotion and education efforts for parents.
