    Because of the inflammation of the meninges. the client is vulnerable to developing cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure. Fluid overload won’t cause dehydration.

    • Maintaining a consistent. structured environment

    Correct Answer
    A. Maintaining a consistent. structured environment

    The nurse caring for an infant with nonorganic failure to thrive should maintain a consistent. structured environment that provides interaction with the infant to promote growth and development. Encouraging the infant to hold a bottle would reinforce an uncaring feeding environment. The infant should receive social stimulation rather than be confined to bed rest. The number of caregivers should be minimized to promote consistency of care.

    • Allow the child to eat at a small table and chair by herself

Using a small table and chair would also enhance the primary recommendation.
