Rationale:
1. The nurse needs to obtain a nutritional history on this infant. Obtaining a 24-hour dietary recall on the infant is most appropriate.
2. Questioning developmental milestones would not lead to any conclusions about the problem presented.
3. There is no indication for reporting this parent to Child Protective Services.
4. Providing instruction on dietary intake without a nutritional history would not be appropriate.
