A nurse is collecting data from a 9-month-old infant.

Which of the following findings requires a nursing intervention?

The initial lochia post-delivery is known as lochia rubra.
Lochia is the vaginal discharge that occurs after childbirth and consists of blood, mucus, uterine tissue, and other materials from the uterus.
There are three stages of lochia: lochia rubra, lochia serosa, and lochia alba.
Lochia rubra is dark or bright red in color and lasts for about three to four days after delivery.
Choice B is not an answer because Fontanalis is not a term related to lochia.
Choice C is not an answer because lochia serosa is the second stage of lochia and occurs after lochia rubra.
Choice D is not an answer because lochia alba is the last stage of lochia and occurs after lochia serosa.

Muscular dystrophies are disorders associated with progressive degeneration of muscles, resulting in relentless and increasing weakness.
This is a general description of muscular dystrophy, a group of genetic diseases that affect different types of muscles and cause various degrees of disability.
Children with muscular dystrophy may experience frequent falls, difficulty walking or running, muscle pain, learning difficulties, and breathing problems.
There is no cure for muscular dystrophy, but treatments can help manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease.
Choice B.
The extent of degeneration depends on performing daily physical therapy is incorrect, as physical therapy cannot prevent or reverse the degeneration of muscles caused by muscular dystrophy.
Physical therapy can help maintain muscle strength and flexibility, prevent contractures and deformities, and improve mobility and function.
Choice C.
The child will be able to function normally and require no special accommodations is incorrect, as muscular dystrophy affects the child’s ability to perform daily activities and may require assistive devices, such as braces, wheelchairs, or ventilators.
The child may also need special education services, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or psychological counseling to cope with the disease.
Choice D.
The weakness that the child is currently experiencing will probably not increase incorrectly, as muscular dystrophy is a progressive disease that causes muscle weakness to worsen over time.

The rate and severity of progression may vary depending on the type and subtype of muscular dystrophy.
Therefore, choice A is the best answer to this question.
