The parents of a toddler are concerned about their childs finicky eating habits. While counseling the parents, which statements by the nurse are the most appropriate? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. The child is experiencing physiologic anorexia, which is normal for this age group. 2. A general guideline for food quantity at a meal is one-quarter cup of each food per year of age. 3. It is more appropriate to assess a toddlers nutritional demands over a 1-week period rather than a 24-hour one. 4. Nutritious foods should be made available at all times of the day so that she is able to graze whenever she is hungry. 5. The toddler should drink 16 to 24 ounces of milk daily.

Correct Answer: 1,3,5 Rationale 1: Physiologic anorexia is caused when the extremely high metabolic demands of infancy slow to keep pace with the slower growth of toddlerhood, and it is a very normal finding at this age. It is not unusual for toddlers to have food jags during which they only want one or two food items for that day. So it is more helpful to look at what their intake has been over a week instead of a day. Two to three cups of milk per day are sufficient for a toddler, and more than that can decrease the childs desire for other foods and lead to dietary deficiencies. The correct general guideline for food quantity is one tablespoon of each food per year of age. Food should only be offered at meal and snack times, and children should sit at the table while eating to encourage their socialization skills.

The mother of a toddler is concerned because her child does not seem interested in eating. The child is drinking five to six cups of whole milk per day and one cup of fruit juice. When the weight-to-height percentile is calculated, the child is in the 90th to 95th percentile. What is the best advice the nurse can provide to the mother? 1. Eliminate the fruit juice from the childs diet. 2. Offer healthy snacks, presented in a creative manner, and let the child choose what he wants to eat without pressure from the parents. 3. Change from whole milk to 2 percent milk and decrease milk consumption to three to four cups per day and the fruit juice to a half cup per day, offering water if the child is still thirsty in between. 4. Make sure that the child is getting adequate opportunities for exercise, as this will increase his appetite and help lower the childs weight-to-height percentile.

Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Toddlers require a maximum of about one liter of milk per day. This toddler is consuming most of his or her calories from the milk and thus is not hungry. The high fat content of the milk and the high sugar content of the fruit juice are also contributing to the childs higher weight-to-height percentile. Decreasing the amount and fat content of the milk and decreasing the intake of fruit juice will decrease calories and thus make the child hungry for other foods. The other advice is also appropriate but did not address the problem of excessive milk consumption.

"I will notify the doctor if her temp is not controlled with acetaminophen" D. I will continue to check his blood sugar two times every day"
