Rationale: In order to adequately assess the toddler client's FTT, the nurse would plan to measure height and weight; obtain a hemoglobin and hematocrit; and ask the family for a twenty-four hour food diary. Information regarding maternal dietary intake during pregnancy is not information that is necessary to assess for a toddler diagnosed with FTT. |
