The pediatric nurse working in a community clinic assesses a 2-year-old patient who is short in stature (below the third percentile).
 
  The nurse suspects growth-hormone deficiency and begins a nursing assessment based on a diagnostic work-up to help confirm the diagnosis. The nurse's initial action is to:
  A) determine bone age by taking the child for an x-ray of the ankle.
  B) determine rate of growth by reviewing the child's growth charts.
  C) determine brain function by taking the child for a magnetic resonance imaging.
  D) determine growth-hormone release by reviewing the child's pituitary function tests.
