PEDS FAILURE TO THRIVE DSM-NCLEX EXAM2024-2025
The nurse is going over information about failure to thrive (FTT) with new
colleagues.
Which factors impacting FTT in children should the nurse consider?
Insufficient calorie absorption.
Play and social activities.
Medications
Immune factors - ANSWER Insufficient caloric absorption.
FTT can be caused by insufficient calorie intake, insufficient caloric absorption, or
excessive caloric expenditure, all of which lead to undernutrition. Biological and
emotional factors may also contribute to the development of FTT. Play and social
activities, as well as drugs and immunological variables, are rare causes of
malnutrition.
The nurse evaluates a newborn who is not gaining weight, makes poor eye contact,
has no anticipated stranger risk, and looks to be older than his or her chronological
age.
Which sort of failure to thrive (FTT) should the nurse look for in this baby?
Geriatric
,Organic
Feeding
ANSWER: Non-organic.
Infants with nonorganic FTT have delayed growth without a physical reason. They
are frequently malnourished, failing to gain weight and develop normally. The
child's behavior may be lethargic and distant, with poor eye contact and an inability
to foresee stranger danger. GFTT may arise when older persons have a reduction in
physical functioning and weight. Organic FTT is caused by a disease or a
congenital defect. There is no feeding FTT.
The nurse is looking after a patient with Parkinson's illness.
Which factor should the nurse identify as increasing this patient's chance of
developing geriatric failure to thrive (GFTT)?
Feeding issues
Substance Abuse
Decreased cognitive function
Increased urge to exercise--ANSWER Feeding difficulties
,Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological illness that can produce dysphagia and
tremors, making it difficult to get food into the mouth and perhaps increasing
vulnerability to GFTT. Exercise may be challenging for someone with Parkinson's
disease. Parkinson's disease also adds to decreased cognitive function. Substance
usage increases the incidence of FTT but is rarely associated with Parkinson's
disease.
An elderly patient who lives alone maintains an active lifestyle but develops
geriatric failure to thrive (GFTT).
What information should the nurse give to this patient?
Eat in smaller, more manageable portions.
Unselected
Eat out with buddies.
Eat in smaller, more manageable portions.
Take 30-minute walks each morning and evening.
Rest every 10-15 minutes throughout the day. - ANSWER: Eat in smaller, more
manageable portions.
, Priority should be given to optimizing oral fluid and food intake through short,
digestible meals. Resting, going on walks, and eating out with friends are all
healthy physical and social activities, but they are not the ideal instructions for
GFTT.
An 85-year-old patient is diagnosed with age-related anorexia.
Which probable geriatric failure to thrive (GTT) problem should the nurse consider
while planning treatment for this patient?
Predisposition for cancer
Development of anhedonia
Anxiety experience
ANSWER: increased vulnerability to diseases.
Anorexia in elderly persons can make them more susceptible to sickness. Anorexia
does not cause cancer. Anhedonia and increased anxiety can cause a decrease in
appetite, leading to FTT.
