What will the nurse note when assessing an infant with asymmetric intrauterine growth restriction?

Choice A rationale
Theca-lutein cysts are not commonly found in females of reproductive age. They are often associated with conditions that cause high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin, such as molar pregnancies.
Choice B rationale
Corpus luteum cysts can occur in women of reproductive age, but they do not typically regress with the menstrual cycle. Instead, they usually resolve after a few weeks if pregnancy does not occur.
Choice C rationale
Follicular cysts are commonly found in females of reproductive age and often regress with the menstrual cycle. They form when the follicle that normally releases an egg does not open to release the egg.

Choice D rationale
Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a condition characterized by multiple small cysts in the ovaries, but it does not typically cause cysts that regress with the menstrual cycle.

Choice A rationale
Giving an infant with a positive PKU test a high protein diet is not recommended. This is because phenylalanine, which cannot be broken down by individuals with PKU, is found in high-protein foods.
Choice B rationale
Parents of infants with a positive PKU test should provide the infant with a diet containing small amounts of phenylalanine. This is because while phenylalanine is harmful in large amounts to individuals with PKU, it is still an essential amino acid that the body needs in small amounts.
Choice C rationale
Early introduction of cow’s milk is not necessary before 1 year of age for infants with a positive PKU test. In fact, cow’s milk is high in phenylalanine and should be avoided.
Choice D rationale
Following up with a pediatric cardiologist is not specifically related to the dietary management of PKU. While regular medical supervision is important for children with PKU, it does not necessarily have to be with a cardiologist.
