The parents of a 5-year-old are concerned that their son is too short for his age. The nurse measures the child's height at 40 inches (101.6 cm). How should the nurse respond?
 
  A) Some children are short for their age during the preschool years but usually catch up during early childhood.
  B) Are most of the adults in your family short? It may be hereditary that your child will be shorter than average.
  C) The average height for a 5-year-old is 43 inches tall (118.5cm), so your son is within the normal range for height.
  D) I am sure his height is a concern, but if you start choosing nutrient-dense foods he will likely catch up to normal in height.
