The nurse is providing anticipatory guidance to a mother of a 5-month-old boy about introducing solid foods. Which statement by the mother indicates that effective teaching has occurred?

"Once he gets used to the cereal, then we'll try giving him a cup."

"I can puree the meat that we are eating to give to my baby."

"The cereal should be a fairly thin consistency at first."

"I'll start with baby oatmeal cereal mixed with low-fat milk."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A.   This statement doesn't demonstrate understanding of appropriate feeding practices for a 5-month-old.
B.   While pureeing food is a method of introducing solid foods, it doesn't specifically address the appropriate consistency or type of food.
C.   Introducing cereal with a thin consistency is appropriate as a first solid food for a 5-month-old.
D.   Starting with baby oatmeal cereal mixed with low-fat milk may not be appropriate as cow's milk is not recommended before the age of 1.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Bladder capacity varies with age and gender. The formula for bladder capacity, is (age + 2) x 30 ml. For a 9-year-old girl, the bladder capacity is (9 + 2) x 30 ml = 330 ml approximately 12 ounces.
B. This is a lower capacity than the estimated one for a 9-year-old girl.
C. This is a lower capacity than the estimated one for a 9-year-old girl.
D. This is a lower capacity than the estimated one for a 9-year-old girl.

A. Conduction heat loss is a problem in the baby. B. Axillary temperatures are not accurate. C. This is a normal temperature. D. The supply of brown adipose tissue is not developed.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Conduction heat loss typically occurs through direct contact with a cooler surface, but in this scenario, the baby is under a radiant warmer, reducing the likelihood of conduction heat loss.
B. Axillary temperatures are generally accurate for newborns when measured properly.
C. A normal temperature for a neonate is between 97 and 99 degrees F (36 to 37 degrees C).
D. Brown adipose tissue is a specialized type of fat that generates heat by metabolizing fatty acids. It is abundant in full-term neonates, but scarce in preterm neonates, especially those born before 34 weeks' gestation. Therefore, preterm neonates have less ability to maintain their body temperature and are prone to hypothermia.
