Feedback A Correct. The nursing care plan would most likely include interventions such as increasing calorie density slowly by adding less water when mixing formula or powdered formula to expressed breast milk. B Incorrect. The nursing care plan would not include quickly increasing the calorie density by adding less water when mixing formula or powdered formula to expressed breast milk. Increasing caloric density should be accomplished slowly over a number of days, as a sudden increase will increase the osmotic load in the gut, producing diarrhea. C Incorrect. The nursing care plan would not include administering bolus feedings via a nasogastric tube every 2 to 3 hours. D Incorrect. The nursing care plan would not include starting rice cereal earlier than is normally recommended. |
