A nurse is collecting data from a 2-year-old toddler during a well-child visit. For which of the following findings should the nurse notify the provider?

A. A high-fat, low-protein diet is not appropriate for a toddler with cystic fibrosis. The body’s increased need for protein due to malabsorption requires a higher protein intake to support growth and repair.

B. A low carbohydrate, high-fat diet is not ideal for a child with cystic fibrosis. The child requires a balanced diet to meet their energy needs, with adequate carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

C. A moderate protein, low-calorie diet would not meet the nutritional needs of a toddler with cystic fibrosis. The child needs a high-calorie diet to compensate for the malabsorption of nutrients.

D. A high-protein, high-calorie diet is the recommended diet for children with cystic fibrosis, as they have increased metabolic demands and require more calories and protein to support growth and prevent malnutrition.

A. Children with autism may have difficulty with social interactions and sensory processing. Placing them in a semiprivate room could cause distress due to the lack of control over the environment and may increase anxiety.

B. Maintaining eye contact with a child with autism, especially when agitated, may increase stress and exacerbate agitation. Many children with autism avoid eye contact and may find it uncomfortable.

C. Children with autism can be very sensitive to sensory input, including physical touch. Minimizing physical contact helps reduce sensory overload and the child’s anxiety.

D. While providing comforting stimuli can be beneficial, leaving the television on at night may disturb the child’s sleep or increase sensory overload, especially if they are sensitive to sounds or visual stimuli.
