    A nurse is caring for an 8-month - old child with a known dysmorphic syndrome and congenital anomalies. The nurse recognizes that the child is at risk for which of the following?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Children with dysmorphic syndromes and congenital anomalies often have multiple medical needs that require frequent hospitalizations for treatment or monitoring. B. Weight loss is not necessarily a primary concern unless there is a feeding issue or metabolic disorder. C. Cognitive impairment may be a concern depending on the specific syndrome, but it is not as immediate a concern as potential frequent hospitalizations. D. Dependence on caregivers is expected, but the primary concern is frequent medical interventions, not the dependency itself.
