A pale, lethargic 1-year-old infant weighs 28 lb (12.7 kg) and has a hemoglobin level of 9 g/dL (90 mmol/L). The parent tells the nurse that the infant refuses solid food when it is offered by spoon and drinks between four and six full bottles of milk per day. What should the nurse recommend? Beginning the weaning process immediately Taking the infant to the metabolic clinic for an examination Giving the infant finger foods such as dry cereal and chopped meat Poking a large hole in the nipple of the bottle and adding puréed baby foods to the milk

3 A diet of only milk is not sufficient to meet the infant's iron needs. Meat and fortified cereals are high in iron. Finger foods are appropriate for older infants. At this age, weaning from the bottle is not the issue; supplementary iron intake is. Although health care and monitoring will be required, the metabolic clinic is not the appropriate referral. Although adding pureed baby foods to the milk would increase iron intake, a large hole in the nipple of the bottle is not desirable at this point.

After cleaning the catheter site, it is important to keep the foreskin pushed back for 30 minutes to ensure adequate drying.

A swing-through gait does not simulate ambulation; it is used when the individual can bear weight but lacks the muscular control needed for ambulation without an assistive device.

A nurse has inserted a nasogastric tube to intermittently gavage feed a preterm newborn. Place in order the steps the nurse will take to perform the gavage.

The first step is to ensure that the nasogastric tube is clamped and properly placed into the stomach and not inadvertently into the lungs. Second, the newborn's parent should be encouraged to hold the newborn during the gavage feeding, if possible. This action contributes to bonding and comfort for both parent and newborn as well as placing the newborn in an upright position to avoid tube feeding aspiration into the lungs. Next, the nurse connects the syringe to the tubing, pours the prescribed volume of formula into it, and then unclamps the tubing to allow the feeding to flow to gravity as tolerated (approximately 1 ml/min). After the feeding is complete, the nurse should add 1 to 2 ml of sterile water to the syringe to clear the tubing of formula and then clamp it.
