The nurse is performing a physical assessment of a 10-year-old boy. The nurse notes that during last year's check-up, the child weighed 80 lb. According to average growth for this age group, what would be his expected current weight?

A. Vary the child's schedule each day: While some variation in activities may be beneficial, providing a stable and predictable routine can also promote a sense of security and stability for the child during hospitalization.

B. According to Erikson's psychosocial development theory, the psychosocial stage for a 10- year-old child is industry versus inferiority. During this stage, children are developing a sense of competence by mastering new skills and tasks. Encouraging the child to complete school work supports this developmental stage by fostering a sense of accomplishment and competence. It

also helps maintain a sense of normalcy and continuity with academic activities despite the hospitalization.

C. Discourage visits from the client's friends: Social interaction with peers is important for the child's emotional well-being and development. Discouraging visits from friends would likely have a negative impact on the child's psychosocial needs during hospitalization.

D. Provide a daily session with a play therapist: While play therapy may be beneficial for addressing emotional needs, it may not directly address the child's psychosocial development according to Erikson's theory. Encouraging completion of school work aligns more closely with the developmental tasks of this stage.

A. A premature newborn: Premature infants are at higher risk for iron deficiency anemia because they have lower iron stores at birth compared to full-term infants. Additionally, premature infants may not have had sufficient time in utero to accumulate adequate iron stores from maternal

transfusions.

B. A postterm newborn: Postterm infants, born after 42 weeks of gestation, are not typically at increased risk for iron deficiency anemia solely based on gestational age.

C. A newborn born to a diabetic mother: While infants born to diabetic mothers may have other health risks, they are not inherently at higher risk for iron deficiency anemia unless there are other complicating factors such as prematurity or inadequate iron intake.

D. A term newborn with jaundicE. Jaundice in a term newborn is typically caused by elevated

levels of bilirubin and is not directly associated with an increased risk of iron deficiency anemia.
