A newborn with a repaired gastroschisis is transferred to the paediatric unit after several days in the paediatric intensive care unit. The infant is receiving parenteral nutrition and continuous enteral feedings.
To maintain normal growth and development of the infant, which action should the nurse include in the plan of care?
To maintain normal growth and development of an infant with a repaired gastroschisis who is receiving parenteral nutrition and continuous enteral feedings, the nurse should include offering a pacifier for non- nutritive sucking in the plan of care. Non-nutritive sucking can help promote the development of the infant's oral motor skills and support normal feeding behaviors. The other options (B, C, and D) are not directly related to maintaining normal growth and development in this situation.
